Market Friday goes to Gettysburg: Civil War Reenactment
Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) Join me as we share our markets across the globe. I always look forward to seeing what you send me! It is amazing to see the different markets and cultures of our friends here on Steemit. I have been pleasured by all of you, as you send in the most wonderful posts. Going places, doing things, buying merchandise. I have been surprised by many, not being familiar with the culture and I must say that it has been such an educational experience for me in so many ways and I hope for you also. This week we will be headed to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where there was a Civil War reenactment, done by living historians to educate and recreate the events of that time.
Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found by others. They will all be in one place!! Thank you! ❤
The battle involved the largest number of casualties. Up to 10,000 soldiers lost their lives, both Union and Confederate. This was considered the war’s turning point.
And just like that, this post is done. I hope you had a good time! As always, I want to thank you for taking the time to visit #MarketFriday!! I hope you had a good time at Gettysburg and even learned a thing or three. Thank you for supporting the challenge! Have a most fabulous day! Cheers!! That would be a photo finish!
Let the sun shine in on your life
So the joy may touch your soul

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

Very nice post!!
Your photos really bring home how massive such a battle was. Of course the true shame is that it was American against American, sometimes relations were on opposite sides of conflict. Truly horrific! Let's hope we never see such division again, but the way both sides are so split today, who can say what the future may hold.
This is one of you epic posts in my opinion. Well done.
War is always horrific. Between the blue and the red, the division is great, but, I am pretty sure we won't be seeing battles between the two unless it is in Chambers.
I liked the reenactment as it a live history lesson and you just cannot beat it. I learned a few things there and was happy to go once again. I have been several times, so I wasn't sure if I would be bored. Not a chance!
Thank you for stopping by and saying hello, leaving your words behind. I wish you a wonderful weekend!
#MarketFriday loves you!

Oh I could see it between the have's and the have not's. Not quite today mind you, but if things keep going as they are trending, between the red and the blue states perchance. Oh yes, many are becoming more militant. Let's hope it stops here soon.
So here is the Old Man's Market Friday. Right on time milady!

I really dislike the unrest between the parties. How have we come so far apart? Well, that is an argument that will never have the right answer or an answer that makes both sides happy.

Great looking nursery!!
Civil War Battle Reenactment in Gettysburg looked to seem seriously real and you shot a lot of photos nicely. I really enjoy it. Here is my entry : https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@kamrunnahar/market-friday-goes-to-radiant-fish-world

Wow, this looks so funny but serious. I am only comparing those times with our time now. Even with the improvement in technology and other stuff. It looks as if things were better. Thanks so much, dear. I have really enjoyed this. Happy weekend to you dear.

Ho cercato un tuo post e mi imbattuto in questo tuo corposo lavoro, frutto di un'eccellente ricostruzione storica, complimenti davvero, cara @dswigle, hai narrato in maniera magistrale una delle più grandi epopee mai successe, in alto i boccali e brindiamo virtualmente, !BEER

I love learning about history and reenactments are an exciting way to experience it, what would I like to be?
To Play the role of a Civil war field nurse tending to the wounded and dying.
Posted using Partiko Android
They had those too! The Civil War field nurses were many times not trained as nurses but learned on the field by a doctor or other nurse.
I hadn't thought about what I would like to be, but a nurse is a great idea. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a hello! Have a great day!

So true, pictures, paintings, words
You know... but not really ....
What is that sad poem at the end?
I read that bit... and it was sadddd
It is a poem by a woman named Warsan Shire. I credited her with it and she is from a worn-torn African country.
War is so saddddd. Indeed.
Thanks for stopping by and saying hello!

It is and even sadder when you know it still goes on in this day and age...
I do like dropping in on your posts...
If only I wasn't bound by the number of upvotes that'd be worth in :)

You sure got close to the action for your post. I have seen this on TV, but your view is much better! Loving the bare feet on the cameraman :)
Funny you mention the bare feet, it actually ties in with why that battle took place in Gettysburg.
One of the big reasons Gen. Lee went there was to acquire some thing his army desperately needed....
Shoes !!
I never heard that before and now you have driven me to look it up! Thanks for stopping in and leaving your words behind!
#MarketFriday loves you!
!tip
The battle being over shoes is a way over simplification but the quest for supplies specifically shoes played a major part to the start of the battle, forcing Lee to abandon his original battle plan and engage the Union army piecemeal that first day instead of gathering his whole army together before engaging the Union forces
This is one of the better explanations of the "Shoe" story I have found.
