“You couldn’t do Civil War re-enacting if somebody didn’t play the role of the Confederates”

Exactly, and those people creep me out as well.

The problem with ‘re-enactments’ is they never get the smell right.

I suspect if you added the odors of blood, brains, guts, feces and urine to the re-enactments they’d be much less popular. Adding the sounds of people screaming in agony, pleading for someone to end their misery and praying to God to take them away from this hell wouldn’t make for a pleasant experience either.
