We hope to see you come to an event and share your knowledge with us and allow us to bestow what we know upon you. Please, check out the events link and see where we will be.

The American Civil War |
|||||
| 1861 started the American Civil War. What exactly started it? Before you answer slavery or states rights, might I make a suggestion? Study the Civil War yourself and even go back into the antebellum period. For that matter, look back to the American Revolution, as everything that happened from the point of the creation of America solidified what would happen in 1861. Here in the 1 st CWT, we all reenact for many different reasons. Some reenact to educate (themselves as well as the public), some to honor their ancestors, and some just because it is just plain fun. Come, study the American Civil War with us, we are pleased to have you. |
