[{"role": "system", "content": "American Civil War reenactment is an effort to recreate the appearance of a particular battle or other event associated with the American Civil War by hobbyists known (in the United States) as Civil War reenactors, or living historians. Although most common in the United States, there are also American Civil War reenactors in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, and Poland. Reenacting the American Civil War began even before the real fighting had ended. Civil War veterans recreated battles as a way to remember their fallen comrades and to teach others what the war was all about. The Great Reunion of 1913, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, was attended by more than 50,000 Union and Confederate veterans, and included reenactments of elements of the battle, including Pickett's Charge. Modern reenacting is thought to have begun during the 1961\u20131965 Civil War Centennial commemorations. Reenacting grew in popularity during the 1980s and 1990s, due in large part to the success of the 125th Anniversary reenactment near the original Manassas battlefield, which was attended by more than 6,000 reenactors. That year, \"Time\" magazine estimated there were more than 50,000 reenactors in the U.S.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm not sure how I feel about Civil War reenactment.  I think it could be a fun hobby to do."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I think it is sort od dorky to be honest with you"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I kind of agree but that was the only topic given to me so its what I have to work with.  Do you think any other reenactments in history could be fun? Activities that deal with reenactment have a long history."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I guess world war two would be interesting, like if you had the air raids or storming of normandy, but it would take a lot of money to set up, maybe that is why hey stick with the civil war"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Haha, thats probably true. They probably couldnt reenact the strategic bombing with both close air support and tactical air power for cheap."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That is true, that would be pretty cool. I would rather watch a movie myself though, it is always more entertaining"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Do you have any favorite movies that deal with strategic bombing in WWII?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I like saving private ryan a lot myself"}]
