Since reenacting has been wiped out by the virus it is good to watch these, helps remind me the action and fun of the hobby, and the thrill of battle and musket smoke.
@@danielburford1441 Awesome, and not a bad choice in rifle, funny enough that was going to be my rifle but I twisted my dad's arm and for $17 roughly more at $607 and change I got the '61 Springfield still new and wrapped in plastic at the Sutler tent that was selling civil war arms along with uniforms and other gear.
@@offdeck8588 from the beginning the state was the first duty. A united nation is a new and great idea. But it's not what was when lincoln invaded legally seceded states. It was columbia's will her people become one under her flag
@@jamesrichardson3322 yes you could. Plenty of campaigners do mainstream events. In my unit (mainstream) our 2nd Sgt is a campaigner and we have some privates that are as well. My gear is almost at entirely campaigner quality but I never plan on doing campaigner events due to the time it takes. Sometimes whole, or mostly, campaigner units will show up to mainstream events we do.
Some soldiers were eerily joyful in combat, those who survived in diaries wrote of how it was at times like a game or sport, describing horribly the pleasure of killing another soldier in graphic ways. Combat then and for all time since war began, either makes you afraid, or a joyful murderer.
Reenactors and reenactments are far more profound than actors and their enactments. Unless its reenactors acting in a Civil War film of course lol. Which is great as long as they are not too fat lol.

That brisk - orange sun puffing through the smoke with the corn, the green grass und trees is utterly compelling.

I hoping if the virus ever calms we'll be able to reenact once again I'm new to the hobby I just purchased a two-band Enfield.

BuckEye49 awesome! I found mine for around $500 dollars on Gunbroker.
@@danielburford1441 Lucky you...That is a bargain for what muskets go for now. Also my gun would have been a 3 band not 2 but an Enfield nonetheless.
@@jesseusgrantcanales Yeah I was shocked when I found it. I had been wanting one for four years I didn't want to have to pay $900 for one.
wish I could go back in time to attend this event.. *LIKED* and *SUBSCRIBED*
That battle flag with the gold yellow trim is very gorgeous.
great footage with a great microphone for once!
Excellent and realistic . Beautiful too.
We'll stand by our colors the red white and red
I love America I don’t know how anyone could stand with the rebels that tried to destroy us. But still a good video

@@madeinAmericasince-rz9cp but statehood is eternal

@@madeinAmericasince-rz9cp true

This looks like great event, awesome!! Hardcore event?
Hello James from what I’ve read it’s a mixed event of some upper level mainstream units and campaigner units
@@marshalney6150 With both types of Reenactors you couldn't put on a events.

@@marshalney6150 There isn't total campaigners events were I am
I wonder if the soldiers back then were that relax
Only the ones that actually wanted to be shot
Did they have cannabis in the South and on campaign? Probably. Laudanum? It was all legal in the Civil War era.

Did anybody notice that Confederate just putting the percussion caps on and not actually dumping powder down the barrel
His gun may have misfired and was putting a cap on to try and fix it instead of double loading cartridges
