You know reenactments of the Cicil War actually began before the real battle had even ended
I hope you are doing well. I was wondering the other day that if we should still do American Civil War reenactment Hobbyists recreate the battle or events of the Civil War. Yes, but they do not represent current lives and it is difficult to relate. Well, other countries also have reenactors of the American Civil War. Countries such as Canada, Germany, and even Poland to name a few. 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.
Reenacting the American Civil War began even before the real fighting had ended.
