On this day in 1861, the attack on Fort Sumter marked the official beginning of the Civil War. ⠀ ⠀ Did you know...⠀ 🌊The only casualty during the battle at Fort Sumter happened after Union troops surrendered. When Union soldiers lowered their flag, they honored it with a 100-gun salute. A round exploded prematurely, killing Union Pvt. Daniel Hough, making him the first person to die in the Civil War. ⠀ ⠀ ➡️If you’re teaching the Civil War this month, swipe to see an engaging printable and digital activity for addressing causes of the war. A link to the resource is also in my bio @literacyinfocus. ⠀ ⠀ #civilwar #onthisday #thisdayinhistory #historyfacts #fortsumter #americanhistory⠀ #ushistory #teachersfollowteachers #iteachhistory #historyteacher #socialstudies #iteach456 #iteach4th #unitedstateshistory #iteach5th #iteach6th #iteachmiddles #middleschool #iteach8th #iteach7th #historylesson #googleclassroom #distancelearning #socialstudiesteacher #historylessonplans #middleschoolteacher #teachersofig #teachergram #teachersofinstagram
