The Sealed Knot Society | The English Civil War | Sir John Owen or college is running a project on the civil war period, the of and public interestin the history of the civil wars by The erection of memorials of battles http://www.englishcivilwar.com/about.html
Extractions: What better way to teach children about the period than with a little "hands-on" experience. The Sealed Knot has been heavily involved in education for many years, giving school talks and displays about life in the Civil War throughout the UK. If your school or college is running a project on the Civil War period, the Sealed Knot can provide you with experts on everything from cookery to clothes, education and politics, through to weapons and battle strategies. The Society was founded by a distinguished Soldier and the Country's foremost Military Authority on the Civil Wars Brigadier Peter Young D.S.O., M.C., F.H., and a group of friends following a party in Cavalier costume held in the summer of 1968. The idea of forming an "army" of the period was floated and quickly gained wide interest so much so that within two years the membership had topped the one thousand mark and a second, Parliamentarian, Army was formed within the Society. In June 1971 the Society was incorporated as a Limited Company and in 1974 was granted official recognition as a registered Charity. Over the years the Society has performed re-enactments throughout the country, including participation in the Silver Jubilee celebrations at Windsor Castle in 1977 and has evolved into a national organisation of some considerable prestige, a fact recognised by the grant to the Society of its own Coat of Arms in 1983.
Battlefield Memorials Transcend Politics - By Colonel Dan played in the war Between the Stateshe considers Americas memorials as venues Idont want to hear about battles when I go to a civil war battlefield http://www.sierratimes.com/archive/dan/eddd080400.htm
Extractions: Its clear that Rep Jesse Jackson Jr. has no realization of Americas past military sacrifices, nor does he apparently recognize the significance and true meaning of a soldiers death on the battlefield. What tells me this? He has demonstrated beyond any doubt in my mind, that he has no respect, nor appreciation for what battlefield memorials actually represent, whom they are intended to honor, and why. Rep Jackson authored a section in an appropriations bill promoting political briefings at battlefield memorials that would highlight the role slavery played in the War Between the Stateshe considers Americas memorials as venues to push a political agenda. Who would write and approve the politically correct scripts of such briefings to ensure the proper political message was sent? Left-wingers like Jackson himself of course and those who were recently quoted by one of my favorite columnists, Samuel Francis. Kate Stevenson, the Park Services Associate Director for Cultural Resource Stewardship and Partnerships said;
Extractions: M easured in physical devastation and human lives, the American Civil War was the costliest war in the experience of the American people. When it ended, 620,000 men (in a nation of 35 million) had been killed and at least that many more had been wounded. More men died of disease and sickness than on the battlefield; the ratio was about four to one. The physical devastation was largely limited to the South, where almost all the fighting took place. Large sections of Richmond, Charleston, Atlanta, Mobile, and Vicksburg lay in ruins. The countryside through which the contending armies had passed was littered with gutted plantation houses and barns, burned bridges, and uprooted railroad lines. Many crops were destroyed or confiscated, and much livestock was slain. More than $4 billion worth of property had been wiped out through emancipation, the repudiation of Confederate bonds and currency, the confiscation of cotton, and war damage. The war settled the question of the permanence of the Union; the abolition of slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation ; the doctrine of secession was discredited, and after 1865 states would find other ways to manifest their grievances. The war expanded the authority of the federal government, with the executive branch in particular exercising broader jurisdiction and powers than at any other time in its history.
The English Civil War - Earl Rivers Regiment Of Foote SK 1968 to reenact the life and battles of civil war that took and public interestin the history of the civil wars by c) The erection of memorials of battles. http://www.vincents.demon.co.uk/river3.htm
Extractions: When you join the Regiment you will do so either as a Pikeman, Musketeer, Matross (Artillery) or Campfollower (non-combatant). Just because you join up as, say, a Pikeman, does not mean that you cannot try your hand at the other arms. We would recommend that you have a go at everything. Suitable 17th Century clothing is available (at a nominal fee) for loan to new members while they equip themselves. During the year the Sealed Knot puts on hundreds of events throughout Britain and sometimes even overseas. These range from Major Musters, where literally thousands of members will come together to re-enact a large battle to small displays where members from one or two regiments will show the way of life of the people of the period, together with the tools and weapons used by them, at local museums, school fêtes etc. As a member of Earl Rivers' Regiment we don't expect you to turn up to every event - that would be impossible. Instead go to those events that you can afford to. At a normal weekend muster your services will be required only for 4 or so hours in the afternoons and an hour or so for drill on one morning. The rest of the weekend is your own to spend socialising on the campsite, visiting local sites of interest or just soaking up the sun (well OK you might be soaking up the rain). Obviously if the Regiment is organising an event we would expect all members to do their utmost to attend. The organising regiment of an event will be responsible for tasks such as camp site security and laying out the battlefield. It's much easier to get a lot of people to do guard duty a few times rather than a handful doing it all weekend.

Extractions: 5. Farmland. Many battles took place on farms, and there, too, horrible destruction of both built and arranged landscapes transpired. Farmhouses, barns, and other outbuildings were blown up, burned (often intentionally), or, if left standing, stripped of boards by needy troops of both sides. Farm fences everywhere disappeared, because they were conveniently sized and aged for firewood. Too, crop fields, which sometimes represented hard elemental labor by generations of proprietors (or, more likely, slaves), were remodeled, in effect, with breastworks, trenches, tunnels, and compacted paths, then littered with the dead, the deads debris of belongings and equipment, and the wreckage of caissons, wagons, and other martial implements.

Extractions: http://www.civilwarbuff.org/ James Longstreet was born January 8, 1821, in Edgefield District, S.C. and spent his early years in Augusta, Ga. His father died when James was 12 years old and he moved with his mother to Somerville, Ala. He was admitted to West Point at the age of 17 and was a classmate of Grant, Halleck, McDowell, George H. Thomas and William T. Sherman. He graduated 54th in a class of 62 in 1842. Longstreet served in the Mexican War and continued to serve in the U.S. Army until he resigned June 1, 1861, to join the Confederate Army. On June 17 of that same year he was commissioned brigadier general in spite of his personal desire to assume an administrative rather than a military role during the War. Come hear Drew Hodges tell us about this rather polarizing Confederal General who was a superior corps leader but did not have prowess in strategy or independent command. He was often slow or reluctant to take the offensive but nonetheless a fearless soldier when engaged in battle. Longstreet was referred to by Robert E. Lee as "My Old War Horse" and by his men as "Old Pete."
Capital Region USA Attractions -- History program, as it was also the site of many battles. Perhaps the greatest casualty ofthe civil war was Abraham memorials to these men and many more important US http://www.capitalregionusa.org/attract/history.asp
Extractions: The Capital Region is brimming with history. No area in the United States is home to more important moments and sites in history, making this the ideal destination for visitors hoping to get an enjoyable and educational glimpse at American heritage. Jamestown, in Virginia, was the site of the first permanent English settlement in the New World. Colonists established the town here in 1607 and were soon befriended by legendary Indian Princess Pocahontas. Today you can visit the original site at Jamestown Island, watch archaeologists at work or tour the recreated Indian village and English forts at Jamestown Settlement. Just a stone's throw away is Williamsburg, the capital of Virginia from 1699 to 1780. Today the town is the nation's largest outdoor living history museum. You can tour 173 acres with the help of costumed "residents" who depict life of Virginia colonists on the verge of revolution. You can stumble back in time at Maryland's original capital, too. Historic St. Mary's City is also a living history museum that introduces you to the world of tobacco farming, Indian life and 17th-century politics. Maryland's current capital, Annapolis, functioned as the first peace-time capital of the United States after England's Lord Cornwallis surrendered to General George Washington in the 1781 battle of Yorktown, Virginia. Washington resigned his commission as Commander in Chief of the Continental Army here, thinking he was ending his service to the new country. (Little did he know that he'd soon be its first president.)
