I like watching civil war reenactments. Hobbyists  recreate certain battles
I have never seen one in person, but it always seemed odd to me, what is the reason?
Civil war veterans recreated battles as a way to remember their fallen comrades and teach what the war was about
That makes sense I suppose, I would rather just forget about the wars is all, but I do play war games all the time so i guess that is irrelevant
They do it all over, not just here. Canada, Italy, Sweden, Germany and other countries
Do they all have their own civil wars or do they reenact other ones?
They all do their own wars. Time magazine estimates there are 50,000 reenactors in the U.S.
That is a lot, but maybe not that many in the grand scheme of things, maybe they are not as popular anymore
Modern reenacting wa thought to have started during the 1961-1965 Civil War Centennial celebrations
That makes sense, it would likely lose popularity over time over many many years
