Will the future ones be PC, and have only Union soldiers?
Or, will the Libs slowly erase the Civil War altogether, and claim that slavery ended in 2009?

On the former--no one is claiming slavery persisted until 2009. But the feeble apologists for the South will forever contend that slavery was not the prime precipitating factor of the War of the Rebellion.
On the latter, you could obtain a copy of the book by T. Lawrence Connelly, "Will Success Spoil Jeff Davis?" Connelly was a major Civil War historian, [http://muse.jhu.edu/login?auth...v037/37.3.thomas.pdf ], but his first book was a satire that took gentle jabs at the re-enactment industry, the United Daughters of the Confederacy and other Civil War subject matter.

Something you read and endorse is the last word? Plueeeze. So, IF the war was about slavery how did Lincoln intend to get around his promise that the states that didn't secede could keep their slaves? Libs do a p*** poor job of re-writing history.
To be fair, Lincoln believed he had war powers to free slaves in states that were at war with the US. But, could not free slaves in the remaining four states as they were property protected under the constitution. His belief that he could emancipate those in the seceding states clashes with the idea that states could not secede.
Bottom line. Reenactments will press on.
Living history and sutler's row are worth the attendance.
