The National Regiment strives for authenticity in uniform, equipment, drill, etc. We strive to do things period-correct, as they were explained in the original Army manuals and tactics as well as from first-hand accounts by the soldiers. Civil War Digital Digest has lots of great videos. A sampling of them below are shown below. You can see their full list of videos by visiting their YouTube page.
