Those where the first deaths of the official war all though several hundred people had already died in Missouri and Kansas before the war though it was over the exact same reasons that the Civil War began.

And people continued to die after the war for the same reasons.

I was just pointing out that many people are unaware of the violence that occurred in Kansas and Missouri the results and fervor of which lead directly to the Civil War it was the spark no doubt and many people do not know about it.I sat it was the spark because it was the pro anti slavery groups where trying anything to get that given region to vote one way or the other when non violence failed that resorted to terrorizing the opposing side.Which lead many in the North and the South to more or less accept it was "us or them" our way or theirs so to speak.

How was it for those that died in New Orleans in a battle that started after the war was already over?
Then again the central issue of that war had already been resolved before the war even started.
Pity they didn't have rapid communication in 1812 isn't it.

Yes when they went to war over an arguement the core of which they had already been resolved but communication of that development was slow, it then had a rather famous battle in 1815 which started after the war had ended but the paperwork was in snailmail, you could add that a month after that they had another battle as they still hadn't got the news the war was over. If you want to go to the full extremes then Warrington in the USS Peacock was still playing silly buggers trying to make a few dollars out of the war 6 months later, even when people were telling him the war was long over he still was killing people "in the war"
