The Confederation of Union Generals is a Civil War Living History organization, founded in 2002, and based in Gettysburg, PA. The Confederation of Union Generals was founded in October of 2002 From its humble beginnings, COUG grew and expanded over the years — adjusting to a changing composition as members entered into or left the hobby. Through it all, and aided by new members with energy, reso
urce, enthusiasm, and bold ideas, a corps group of founders led the group into fresh and exciting initiatives and venues while remaining true to the vision of the organization in being ambassadors for —and stewards of – a precious treasure: the heritage of America’s Civil War. Using the knowledge of their historical personas, combined with the gift of story telling, has enabled our members to animate the past for young and old alike, and “connect” them to that defining time in our history.
