Is Civil War tourism history? Attendance is way down at several big battlegrounds

Once a tourism staple for many Southern states and a few Northern ones, destinations related to the 1860s war are drawing fewer visitors. Historians point to recent fights over Confederate monuments and a lack of interest by younger generations as some of the reasons.

I'm Native American. Ponca. Middle aged white men playing dress up and reenacting the bloodiest battles in history, including playing dead, is weird. Which side they choose to play dress up as makes no difference.

Fort Sumter has always been a popular Charleston location for tourism. That likely won't change.

Reenactors must use smokeless, noise-free powder. Did climate change cause migraine headaches at Ft sumnter ? Did slavery begin income inequality ?

All Americans should visit America’s Civil War Battlefields and Museums. In fact, the US Government should buy adjacent properties to stop the encroachment of other entities.

Remove all Confederate Statues and place them in a museum Remove all Confederate flags from all Government buildings

Just make sure every Rebel General has at least one slave on a chain in every picture or statue depicted and I’m cool with it.

Fun times!
