GIFs are moving pictures that allow internet users to explain their feelings with ease. So many emotions can be captured within a GIF; it’s why the internet loves them so much. Thanks to the United States National Archive, we are able to see certain scenes from history come to life, for the first time. They created a series of GIFs that include pictures of Walt Whitman, Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain. Take a look:
