Many of these Swedes probably have family relations in the United States. The bottom line is that reenactment is a volunteer hobby, you have the right to participate in whatever time period you are interested in as long as you can either make or buy the appropriate items. There are no rules or regulations that define which nationalities can do what period of history or what culture. To me it is refreshing to see other periods of history done well. Often I get a new perspective on history.

I think it is great! There are thousands of Americans of Swedish decent that had family members who fought in the American Civil War. It is nice to see other countries show their appreciation for their sacrifice.

@PresidentDRCI OK, sorry if I hurt your feelings. Wasn't intended. But it seem that your question was a bit harsh to begin with.
You're a Confederate then why did you choose a pro-Union song?.

I love the gray uniforms....snicker..snicker...I have been a Confederate reenactor for 7 years and I have never seen such clean uniforms!!! Of course I wear jean-wool.

That depends on that nearly all the confederate soldiers had bought new uniforms and they got it that weekend. So thats why the uniforms are so clean, they are new!! If you wants to see our old uniforms so can take a look at my firt video, "Civil war reenactment in Sweden 2007". Sorry for my English.
