Civil War at 150: How a Bloodless Battle Started It All "...The Confederate government, knowing that its claims to sovereignty depended on no "foreign" power occupying any of its coastal forts, decided to act before the relief expedition arrived.

The impact of our War Between the States on other lands:
Today's Professional victims will try to connect Federalists of today with slave owners of the 1800's. Along with our honoring American history for the next four years, expect the likes of "The Reverends" Jackson, Sharpton, Wright and most leftist activists to pile on America in the months to come.

"Confederate leaders, therefore, ordered Charleston's chief military officer, Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard, a flamboyant Louisiana Creole, to demand Fort Sumter's surrender. Should that be refused, he was to open fire on the stronghold.
"James Chesnut, Jr., the former U.S. senator who'd pledged to drink the blood of casualties, was one of two emissaries who delivered the ultimatum to an ashen-faced Anderson at 3:25 a.m. on April 12, 1861—150 years ago Tuesday." |

Australia and New Zealanders (Anzacs) in the war. "This website is a dedication to the Australian Union and Confederate Veterans of the American Civil War of 1861 – 1865."

Civil War began 150 years ago today "Though no lives were lost during this opening engagement, it would end four years later with a Citizenry liberated and an overdue 14th Amendment to our Constitution, the eventual evils of Reconstruction resulting from the assassination of thoughtful leader, and the rise of a powerful party in the South that would embody the preservation of segregation and manipulation of race politics for more than a century." (Emphasis added) That party would be the Democrat Party for those of you who know nothing about the history of this nation.
