“Think of what a ‘Star Wars’ movie would be without the Empire,” he said. The South fought the war because of slavery, he said, but “you can’t fight a battle with only one side.” It was fought over Southern rights, that’s just the way I see it.”ĭon King, a Confederate re-enactor who grew up in North Carolina and now lives near Sykesville, Md., disagreed. “I tell them they need to learn their history. “I’ve been called a racist, a bigot, everything you could think of in the world when people find out I do this,” Mr. “The politics that caused the war, we don’t even care about.” “We portray Confederates because they were the underdogs and they had all the odds stacked against them,” said Bill Adams, known as “Pork Pie,” an engineer from southern Michigan who has been playing a Confederate soldier for the past 35 years. The Confederates were more likely to say family history had a role in how they picked their side. Still, some Union re-enactors said they chose to wear blue at least in part because of their political convictions or because they wouldn’t fight against the United States flag.

Most re-enactors have strong preferences, but few stick exclusively to one side, instead switching into Confederate or Union garb if the opposing ranks are too thin. One Union infantryman, a 20-year-old college student, described himself as a Marxist and card-carrying member of the Industrial Workers of the World. Politically, Civil War re-enactors tend to be conservative, perhaps a reflection of the demographics of a hobby that skews heavily white and middle-aged. Pointing to the Confederate camp, he said: “And give them the benefit of the doubt that they weren’t at Charlottesville.” “You build a comfort zone for the hobby to function,” Mr. That the battle flag Confederate re-enactors carry is still used as a means of intimidation makes it hard to defend as a purely historical object, independent of its racist implications.

After a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017, where demonstrators wore swastikas and carried Confederate flags, and where an anti-racist protester named Heather Heyer was killed, at least two smaller Civil War re-enactments were canceled. The military details are meticulously researched and recreated down to the stitching of a uniform, but the broader social and political realities of the Civil War - the profound struggle over slavery and emancipation, racism and equality, citizenship and disenfranchisement - are largely confined to the margins. It’s a vision of history placed in narrow context.
