The Southern Benevolent Society

Calling All You Patriots Out There! Do you really enjoy history? Cmon out to the field and really live it! Experience first hand what it was really like for the typical Civil War soldier. Live out in the open, cook your food over a open fire and learn to drill the nineteenth century way. This is Civil War era Living History.

We put on small camp demonstrations, as well as educate the public about this time frame. This includes programs or talks on the history of the war, the uniforms, weapons and etc. One of our programs even covers our Christian Heritage, and how it played a major role in the lives of the soldiers, both North and South. It is very interesting to note, that there were a considerable number of revivals breaking out all through the major Confederate Armies.

By now, you are wondering what i am leading up to. Yer right! RECRUITS! to help swell the ranks so we can do more. This is a small orginazation of ex-Civil War Reenactors. We want to take the Gospel message of Jesus Christ to the world in a unique way! By using the uniforms and etc. simply as a tool to draw people. If this appeals to you, why don't you give me a holler. I will be glad to answer any questions you might have.

Please contact Frank at confvet@yahoo.com My interest, is enlisting all those that are interested in Confederate Infantry. We can talk too if you like either the cavalry service, or your inclined to get involved in the artillery branch. If you have a desire to go Federal or "Union", lets talk. You have a very good chance of enlisting and commanding your own company. Yes, Infantry, Cavalry or Artillery.
