Shadows of the Blue and Gray Civil War re-enactment was held in Princeton this past weekend. Why is it important to re-enact history?

“This time period shaped our nation more than any other time period. We decided to stay united and ended slavery. It’s important to remember these things and hope that people learn from the mistakes that were made.”

Max Daniels, Wheaton

“Six hundred and fifty-eight thousand Americans lost their lives in the Civil War. We need to remind people not to make the same mistakes of the past.”
