“Hmmm, they’re the Rebels, whom I would normally shoot, but they also are totally into slavery, much like my current employer… Decisions, decisions…”
And yes, Civil War enactments feel really weird to me, especially given how often they’re short of people who’d prefer to be Union.
Revolutionary war reenactments are a bit better. I also think its funny that you can argue that the Civil war was about anything but Slavery
You can argue about what was fer supper yesterday but that don’t make tuna casserole into brisket and baked taters. The states that became the Confederacy started the war, and the war was about slavery, or states rights to do slavery if you prefer the obtuse phrasing.

Is that the trooper who shot dead Stonewall Jackson via friendly fire?
No, because that guy was absolutely meaning to shoot Jackson. He just didn’t know it was Jackson.
Time traveler?
When you think about it some of them fought for a side that kissed their sisters, and the storm trooper actually fought against a side known for sister kissing
I am going to go out on a wild limb here and say being anti sister kissing was not a big moderator for stormtroopers
My favorite is French and Indian war reinactors. No matter what you’re a colonialist bad guy fighting proxy for the seven year war. And you get to play like you’re a tough woodsman.
