Having always lived in the Western part of the continent, I have never been close to Civil War Reenactment groups. I was a SCA player for 6 years, but I don't really consider that the same thing. One of my retirement bucket list items is to attend an ACW reenactment of one of the large battles in the east. But I am afraid, with the current toxic political cancel culture in the US right now, they will all be shut down before I can.
