Shiloh Rules

The women in Doris Baizley’s Shiloh Rules are involved in a competition in a Tennessee park, creating a reenactment of a make-believe, bloody Civil War battle. As they compete for the prize of “best female re-enactor” the women dredge up century-old hatred with a modern red state versus blue state twist. Thrown into the mix is a peddler selling phony reenactment memorabilia and trying to stay neutral amid the petty, humorous regional disagreements. The women are reigned in by an African American park ranger who is encouraged to join the Union’s cause.
