The
American Civil War Association of Northern and Central California recreates
the most trying period in our nation’s history. For four years the country
ripped itself apart in a great war that was to decide the many questions
left unanswered since the days of its birth. When it finally ended,
the United States was again one nation but no less than 620,000 men,
two percent of the population, had perished for what they believed.

Our
members attempt to educate the public and each other on this most pivotal
era through battle reenactments, recreations of authentic camps and
school programs. With the uniforms, clothing and equipment of the period
one can get some small sense of how the men, women and children lived
through the hardship that was the Civil War and also enjoy the very
unique camaraderie and friendships that the hobby of reenacting offers. |
