just got back from giving my 9yo son a trip to Forts Sumter and Moultrie. Funny thing, but if I remember right, the first shots (i.e., the initiating aggression) were fired by... somebody help me out here...
First shots fired by Citadel cadets January 9th 1861. You should have pmed me I live in Charleston and just got done with my Civil War in Charleston class where we visited all the sites.
