Hijacking the Battle of Gettysburg

(Image from: Breitbart's Battlecast)
 
Last week, one of my friends and several thousand other American Civil War re-enactors, took part in celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.  This and the Siege of Vicksburg were turning points in the war.
 
Did Doris Kearns mention any of this when she spoke at the opening ceremony?
 
 
Mark Steyn often warns how events and celebrations of a specific historical--not to mention religious--nature, are often hijacked and watered down by liberal activists. 
 
I doubt my friend appreciated the fact that he was trudging around in the Pennsylvania heat, wearing a wool uniform and drinking tepid water--in order to strike a blow against gender/transgender/gay/lesbian/ intolerance.
