My country has had a civil war, invasions by the french, by the spanish, more recently a revolution that threw a fascist government, followed by a very colourful period of internal squirmishes between anti-regime forces, but we settled those events and that was that: off to the history books.
What motivates so many people to re-enact battles from the American Civil War?
It sounds cruel. Re-enacting a war where so many died gruesome deaths.
Saw that at an SCA gathering once: apparently just a squad, but they were absolutely impressive.
Spoke pig-latin amongst themselves because no one could speak real Latin and they wanted to sound “latin-y” when out with the provincials.
