Capt. George S. James
Confederate Army Officer
The honor of firing the first shot of America's first Civil War was offered to former Virginia congressman, Roger Pryor. Pryor refused, and at 4:30 a.m., April 12, 1861, Captain George S. James ordered his battery to fire a 10-inch mortar shell, which soared over the harbor and exploded over Fort Sumter, South Carolina's Charleston Harbor. Less than 34 hours later, Union forces surrendered. Traditionally, this event has been used to mark the beginning of the Civil War.
The first shot of the second civil war was offered to Donald J. Trump, President of the United States January 20, 2021. He quickly accepted the chance to begin the war and ordered Marjorie Taylor-Greene to begin shooting. When her rifle was empty, Lauren Boebert was designated to shoot next. The shooting continued through the ranks of deranged and glory-seeking domestic terrorists within the United States House of Representatives. (Save this because MAGA Representatives will never let it see the light of day in any history book.)
