Your observation reminds me of the gulf between RevWar and War Between the States folk. There is no shortage of RevWar reenactors to play Hessians, Brits or Loyalists. Interesting.
I discovered a whole new perspective of the ACW as a grad. student in the South. The Southern perspective is very interesting and vastly different from the one in the North. Pres. Lincoln is probably the most hated man in the South to this day.
