I have participated in both Confederate and Federal units and for the most part did not encounter any racists. The fact is though, that there are racists in BOTH camps, just as there are in "real" life.

I will say that I attended an event in Pleasant Hill, Louisiana several years ago that was attended by representatives from the KKK. They placed some contentious flags about the event grounds and it was the Confederate reenactors that kindly persuaded them to remove them.


Confederates (SCV) have no use for the KKK...

they spew filth and use our flag while doing so. they are a big part of the problems people today have with the battleflag
