While they are aware of the popular image of CWRTs as a bunch of guys sitting around and rehashing old battles, they are keenly aware of the relevance of studying the events of a war that ended almost 160 years ago.
"Most of us have an interest in military history, but many of the issues still facing us today had their roots in the outcome of the Civil War, according to David Byrnes. "The consolidation and growth of the central government, the 'culture wars' and diversity, equality and inclusion, interpretations of the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution -- these were all raised and not necessarily settled during that conflict.
"It's more than just retelling battles."
--Old Secesh
