The problem I see is that it is mainly on the field battle that we see, but the real war happened behind closed doors (politicians) and we put to much focus on the reenactment of battles.
knowledge: Reenacting the American Civil War began even before the real fighting had ended.
response: You know reenactments of the Cicil War actually began before the real battle had even ended

I did not know that, but still why ? From what you are telling me, it seems more for amusement (theater) than history. What about other wars that the US was part of. Even the American Revolution  does not see as much reenactment.
knowledge: Reenacting grew in popularity during the 1980s and 1990s, due in large part to the success of the 125th Anniversary reenactment near the original Manassas battlefield, which was attended by more than 6,000 reenactors.
response: I cannot say about the other wars. Reenactment's popularity grew after the 125th reenactment anniversary of the original Manassas battle. Over 6000 reenactors attended.

Have you ever attended a reenactment. I have not ? Maybe I should, I might be missing something.
