The American
Civil War 1861-1865
Hundreds of
people across the nation (and even the world!)
are either coming home from or going to a Civil
War reenactment this weekend. A reenactment, if
you don't already know, is a carefully staged,
but painstakingly researched historic battle
once fought by American against American on our
homeland soil. Crew 1872 is one of those groups
of intrepid individuals banded together to
remember history and relive that time in history
when the Indian Wars were top news headlines and
railways westward were being built. When
politicians got in way over their heads and the
nation went to war; brother against brother,
city against city and state against state. The
nation was divided and young boys went off to
war.
