I know these aren't real soldiers fighting in a real war, but it is crazy how good their costumes were at the battle reenactment. Everything there added to the realism of this battle.

One of the craziest things to me is that the reenactment was taking place on the same field that thousands of people died during the Civil War. The black and white that I edited these photos with really does a great job at capturing the look at feel of the time that this battle took place.

I can only imagine the fear that so many of these people felt back in 1864, knowing that they were going to be facing off against fellow Americans and there was a really good chance they would not make it through the day. War is a horrible thing and I can't even imagine going to war against my fellow countrymen.
