As some of you may be aware, controversy stuck with the Groton event when the local newspaper had a special edition that started with an article stating that the war was caused and fought over Slavery.

I posted my strong disapproval of the article being on the front page and stated that I would not support events where such positions are taken and put forth to the public in such a manner.

I recieved the backlash from a number people in our Battalion who disagreed and supported the claim that the war was fought over slavery. Including our corporate President who had studied and thought about the issue for years. Others stated to simply ignore the remarks and tell the public the true cause when we meet them.

I am very much taken back but such support and have begun to question Confederate Re-enacting in New England. Have I gone completely insane?
