Read this recently and wondered if other parts of the country are experiencing this loss of history being handed down.
We live in northern California and when I looked into joining a CSA unit, we were looking at a three hour drive for any activities as far as training and general socialising.
Interest is so vague in our area now, (gold country, Sierra foothills) that the Constitution Day celebration and parade no longer feature any ACW re-enacting. "Too divisive", I was told. Truly sad to me. I hope this is not a trend nation wide.
Edited; modern politics.
