War for the South’s Independance is Still Being Fought

We stopped in Port Republic, Virginia for a ‘reenactment’ that we saw advertised on a sign the day before. As we arrived this morning, just beyond the sign was a bivouac of union and confederate troops on the lawn near Highway 253.

I was told in school that the American Civil War ended in 1865, but I’ve also heard that it is still being fought in parts of this country. Today was the first time I’ve had actual evidence that the war still continues.
