The Myth of European Reenactment Perfection
Ian:
Wrap your head around this one! Russians reenacting the American Civil War. Probably with more accuracy in costume than many American groups (although I admit I know nothing of accurate ACW clothing).
I think at the end of the day it comes down to the individual group more than any other factor. Geographic location can certainly assist, but it's up to the group to use their resources. A diligent group in the US can certainly make better use of resources than a lazy group in the heart of the Medieval Holy Roman Empire and pull off a better impression / presentation. I think in the past we just lent too much credit to the European groups and didn't give ourselves enough.
Sir Wolf:
yeah they have ACW in europe. its big.
i think the main issue lies with us just being us. we want what we want and we want it now......but as cheap as possible. sometimes it seems like europeans dont have his disease as bad as americans do

Yeah, that's a huge cultural flaw here. Instant gratification, for the lowest cost possible. Some things just simply can't be done that way, or at least shouldn't be done that way. :)
Thorsteinn:
If I may ask: Why is ACW popular outside of the USA?
SirNathanQ:
Because everyone secretly wants to be 'MURICAN! ;)
