Today's Video Thursday features videos with a Civil War theme as we approach the beginning of our nation's sesquicentennial events. Events that should highlight the tragedy of our bloodiest war of brother against brother. First is a video of the Waccamaw Rifle reenactor group firing a cannon at Patriots Point last week.
