CARING ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR

That takeout from so many sources was an exceptional recounting of where Civil War stands now in American consciousness – John Grady

You know I don’t think it’s that people have lost interest in the Civil War. I just think there has been so much discussion about monuments and opposing views that people are completely worn out on the topic. A while back I read a story about how Gettysburg wasn’t going to do their annual reenactment due to decline in attendance….I think doing them every 5 years would create more interest. – Jeremy Ray Hagler

In today’s America, there are more veterans than anytime since World War Two. They may sign on, as they get older, a lot of folks served since 9/11. I. Don’t count today’s youth out, a good number seen a lot of combat and may in time, be Civil War buffs. –
