CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) - Civil War re-enactors - blue and gray - have voted to support 10 major events during the commemoration of the war's sesquicentennial.
Georgia Civil War Commission Chairman John Culpepper told the Chattanooga Times Free Press that the vote earlier this month at a meeting of the Civil War 150th National Leadership Convention in Chickamauga, Ga., involved "about 75 representatives from all these different armies from all over the United States."
The major battles endorsed by the convention are 2011-Manassas (Va.) Shiloh (Tenn.); 2012-Second Manassas (Va.) Vicksburg (Miss.); 2013-Chickamauga (Ga.) Gettysburg (Pa.); 2014-The Wilderness (Va.) Atlanta; 2015-Bentonville (N.C.) Appomatox (Va.)
