150th Anniversary
Tomorrow, April 12th, is the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War when Confederate soldiers opened fired on Fort Sumter.
It was the first war to involve trench warfare; observation balloons; iron-clad ships; and the use of repeating and breech-loading rifles, mines, and hand grenades.
More Americans were killed in that war than were killed in World Wars One and Two, Korea, and Vietnam combined.
