A: If you don't mind me asking, what part of the country did you grow up in, and is it the same area you reenact in? B: Do you reenact specific battles or is it more of a loose 'skirmish'-style reenactment? C: If you could give a percentage, how many people are there genuinely for the historical portion versus other reasons? I ask because I grew up in Georgia and the Civil War reenactments were pretty much all Confederacy-driven, with Union troops nonexistent (Look, this is a Civil War-era camp! This is how they would have lived on the march when there wasn't a battle around! No, we don't do battle reenactments here for...uh...reasons.). This is a legitimately good thread, and if I'm making GBS threads it up with politics, my bad.

McNally posted:I go to reenactments in what was the Eastern Theater of the war: As far north as Gettysburg, as far south as maybe Petersburg (possibly Norfolk). I grew up in Northern Virginia, but my family comes from central New York. Okay, that's cool as poo poo. The Civil War is a incredibly interesting from a military history view, and I'm pissed that it gets so heavily politicized. I'm glad your group plays it straight.
