Good show Mustang. I didn't even know about the FDR line.

Thanks, xerxes. Here’s a question: What was the first battle of the American Civil War?

[xerxes]

The first shots were fired at Fort Sumter but the first clash between the union and confederate armies was the Battle of First Bull Run aka Manassas.

Here's a funny and hopefully tricky one:

Which Ney York City proclaimed on April 15, 1912 "All Saved from Titanic After Collision"?

I'll guess the Sun, because as Virginia's Papa said, "If you see it in The Sun, it's so."

Nope. I'll help you out a bit. It's a paper that no longer exists. But good guess on the Sun.

I’ll guess Evening Sun or Tribune. I don't think it was the Times.

Mustang triumphs again. It was the Evening Sun.

Thanks, xerxes. Here’s a question: What was the first battle of the American Civil War?

There is the official version, but a lot of people assert that the first unofficial battle was when John Brown tried to seize the armoury at Harper's Ferry. Brown, an abolitionist, was ironically defeated by US Army Colonel Robert E. Lee. Truly, it was the first time North & South battled each other.

Firstly Brown’s actions would hardly constitute a “battle” (it was a raiding party of 21 men) and secondly, South Carolina seceded in 1860 (a year after Brown’s failed capture of the federal arsenal, thus) and the Fort Sumter attack (and subsequent surrender) was in April of 1861 (no one had left the Union by Brown’s time – the Secession Convention was called after Lincoln’s electoral victory in 1860). The first battle of the Civil War occurred in July of 1861 at Bull Run.

These people would happen to be the same ones who are struggling to justify calling the american civil war, the "War of Northern Aggression" despite the South firing upon a union fort?

"Unofficial"

Of course. Is that anything like an “unorthodox” or “fringe” version?
