All the people in the photos above are reenactors. They have dressed up in clothes either from the Civil War or clothes that have been made to look like they are from the Civil War. They have an encampment and stay in white tents and for however long the reenactment event goes on. During that time, they live like people who lived during the civil war. Some of the reenactors are acting out the part of someone who actually lived during the Civil War (i.e. Abraham Lincoln) and some are just there to tell you what life would have been like. Usually, a battle from the Civil War is acted out. They have events around the country. Here are some links to give you more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War_reenactment http://www.cwreenactors.com/index.php
The kids are asking me...What is this? Where was this? Who are they? Can you please tell us more? Thanks
