Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
There are very few photos (if much any) from this time period of Robeson County (c.1865-1874). I have found no accurate public domain illustrations (not outright fictional) of the happenings of this conflict, unlike civil war battles. There is one alleged photo of Henry Berry Lowry, the man of led a faction in the eponymous "war", but its veracity is disputed. This appears to be the only photo indisputably tied to the events of the war.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) Single use
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The photo is incredibly old - from the early 1870s. It was given over to a university for research purposes along with a collection of family papers and published online. Due to its age and its relation to such a niche topic, it is unlikely that it has much commercial value to its owner
Other information

Since the photo is from the 1870s, the author has probably been dead for decades. It also has not been ruled out that the photo is not in the public domain.
