fandomhigh | Civil War Re-Enactment; Monday, Period Three [ 06/08 ].

Today, in the Danger Shop, the class would find themselves on a nice little hilly green, pastoral and, for the moment, quiet. "Welcome to Gettysburg," Jasper said, "considered to be the turning point of the war. Ranking up the most casualties for any other battle of the Civil War, this is where Union Major General George Gordon Meade defeated the troops lead by the Confederate General Robert E. Lee, putting a stop to Lee's march on the North.

"The date is July 1, 1863, and we're in Pennsylvania. The armies would be in battle, with the North persevering to hold their line until July 3, until Lee pulled his troops back after a disastrous cavalry charge. On Day Three alone, there were between 46,000 and 51,000 casualties in this battle. Union President Abraham Lincoln set up a memorial burial ground here for those fallen Americans, and also used it as a fulcrum to redefine the war for his Gettysburg Address. I'm passing out to each of you a copy of the oration. Take a second to look it over, and share some thoughts to think about before we head into ~~bastardizing~~ recreating this historic battle."

Orating.

Not dirty.

Listen, take notes, ask questions, read the Address and give your thoughts on it.

Grab some fake weapons and hit each other with them. It's totally a realistic recreation of one of the most pivotal battles of the war, really.

...Two sparkly vampires.

Lame class is laaaaame today. I blame the weather here right now. It's weather that makes Jasper wish he were playing baseball instead.

Hyuuga Hinata

Joan Girardi

Joan read over the Address even while being impressed by the Danger Shop recreation. She had been to Gettsyburg a bunch of times and it was pretty realistic, in her opinion.

Hinata carefully read over the Address several times, mulling over it as she inspected where they 'were' thanks to illusion.

Emmett Cullen

Hahaha orating.

Emmett was there and was very disappointed that today's class involved reading. Reading was for suckers!

Sookie Stackhouse

IT IS VERY LAME WEATHER. I stupidly wore flip-flops. D:

Worf

Penelope Wilhern

Robin

Robin grabbed a huge foam bat. "Yar!"

Hurley Reyes

Excuse me while I feel the need to shout 'BAYONETS!'
