April 12, 1861

Today is 4/12/1861. The day the Civil War started. There's reenactments all over the place, but I really want to go to the one at Fort Sumnter. I'm the biggist Civil War fan ever but I can't go to any reenactments. This sucks!!! Any way the reason the Civil War -150 years ago- started is because 11 southern states wanted to sucede from the union. The union didn't want them to so the south fired cannons onto Fort Sumnter.
