  2. What!?! Wait, it's not our Anniversry..., Hmmm..., it's not your birthday..., but I think it has something to do with an Anniversary trip we took to a city in South Carolina a couple of years ago. Sorry, students, I was given strict orders not to blog the answer, but I could give a clue. Enjoy History! Your Teacher Rocks!

  10. There were many events on April 12th but I'm sure that the event is the bombing of Fort Sumter in South Carolina, 1861. This also began the Civil War and the rise in southern uprisings.

  11. After the Lincoln Administration wouldn't surrender Fort Sumter in South Carolina to the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis ordered an attack on the fort which lasted from April 12-13 until the fort surrendered. This called for war in eyes of the Union, and so this was the beginning of the bloodiest war in American history better known as the American Civil War. - Daniel Black

  12. This is what I found, the Confederate shelling of Fort Sumter in South Carolina in 1861 marking the beginning of the Civil war, in 1945 president Franklin Roosevelt died of a stroke in Warm Springs Georgia, in 1961 Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin entered outer space, and the 1999 citation of president Bill Clinton for contempt of court for making "intentionally false statements" in a sexual harassment lawsuit. -Justin
