You are arguing a made up story after the fact. This is how it happened per Bing AI search.I said nobody died due to the cannon fire at Sumter by the Confederates. I explained as the Flag of the US was being taken down, a cannon in the fort was fired and that is what killed the one trooper. Learn your history before challenging me on this issue.
"The attack on Fort Sumter in 1861 marked the official beginning of the American Civil War1. The battle lasted for three days, from April 12 to April 14, 18611. During the attack, there were no combat casualties2. However, two federal troops died during a freak accident at a ceremony after the surrender when a cannon misfired2. One Union artillerist was killed and three were wounded (one mortally) when a cannon exploded prematurely while firing a salute during the evacuation on April 14 3."
