Civil War reenactments

Civil War reenactments are organized events where participants recreate historical battles from the American Civil War. Participants, often in period-appropriate uniforms and using authentic or replica equipment, such as muskets and cannons, simulate combat and daily life from the 1860s. These reenactments aim to educate the public about history, honor those who served, and preserve cultural heritage. They typically include staged battles, demonstrations, and educational programs, often held at historical sites or parks. While they dramatize past events, reenactments emphasize accuracy, historical context, and respectful remembrance of history.
