Abstract:

Over 50,000 individuals in North Carolina and around the world participate in recreating the Civil War period with historical accuracy in dress and battles. The participants are drawn to reenacting through a love of history, the chance to play on opposing sides to gain the opponent's perspective, camaraderie, family participation, and the spiritual aspect of being where family members fought or died.
