First shootings of American civil war happened in Fort Sumter on 12th and 13th of April in year 1861. Occupation forces were forced out of the Fort Sumter regions due to these fires. The firing of shots continued for 34 hours but no body died in the exchange of fire. Some deaths of Union Soldiers happened during 34 hours firing but these deaths were not due to exchange of fire with national forces. These soldiers died in an accidental explosion near their cannons.
Earlier, before the start of battle, conditions were very close to siege at Fort Sumter. Fort was going under occupation of Union soldiers. As the harbour of Charleston was controlled from this fort, therefore, 85 Union Soldiers occupying the fort were getting supplies easily. When President Abraham Lincoln got the power, situation at Fort Sumter turned into a big crisis. On his orders 500 troops raided this fort because the occupying soldiers had refused to surrender. Occupation forces were small in number and they were not well equipped for fighting against invaders; they had to surrender after few days of attack.
Today is 12th April 2011. Day of 12th April has importance because two important incidents of history happened at this day. The first few bullets of American Civil War were fired on 12th April. Also that Soviet Scientists completed their first successful human space mission on 12th April. Two different nations have two different reasons to celebrate the day as a national day of pride. However, Americans are also remembering the memories of their Apollo 11 mission today.
