They also lack the presence of local battlefields to more easily justify their re-enactment festivals, which is a more serious shortcoming that one might first imagine.
After all, dressing up in a funny uniform and stomping around Shiloh gives you some kind of tentative, if slippery, claim to innocuous historical fetishism instead of white supremacy. Having to conduct said festival at the local Applebee's, or Phil's basement, makes the argument that much harder.
