The American Civil War produced its veterans too. And whether one sees the conflict through the prism of a struggle to free the slaves and hold the Union together or a war of Northern aggression against sovereign Southern states, the valor and honor displayed on both sides is often recreated in so called Civil War reenactments that recreate the fields of battle as a tribute to both sides to an astonishing degree of historical accuracy. LATV cameras and producer John Underwood captured one such series of reenactments recently at Central Park in Huntington Beach. The “you are there” first person accounts of the soldiers in the field are revealing and thought provoking. See LATV schedule for program times and dates.
