This Day in History: The Civil War Begins

This Day in History: , The Civil War Begins.

April 12, 1861.

Union-held Fort Sumter in Charleston Bay, SC, is attacked by Confederate shore batteries under the command of General P.G.T.

Beauregard.

After being battered for 34 straight hours, U.S. Major Robert Anderson surrendered the fort.

U.S. President Abraham Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteer soldiers two days later.

He had been in office for barely more than a month.

South Carolina, a slave state, had issued an "Ordinance of Secession" earlier in December, dissolving its ties with the Union.

The following four years of war between the North and South would be the bloodiest in American history, resulting in the deaths of more than 620,000 Confederate and Union soldiers

500,000 Immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela at Risk | SC backs Trump’s ANTI-IMMIGRANT policies

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to end the Biden-era humanitarian parole program that granted temporary legal status to migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The decision potentially paves the way for the deportation of over 500,000 migrants. Liberal justices, including Jackson and Sotomayor, dissented, citing the ruling’s human cost. The case highlights the ongoing legal battle over immigration authority and could influence future policies, including birthright citizenship. #SupremeCourt #ImmigrationPolicy #Trump #BidenEraRollback #HumanitarianParole #MigrantRights #Deportation #SCOTUSRuling #LatinAmericaMigrants #ParoleProgram #ImmigrationReform #JacksonDissent #Sotomayor #USImmigration #Cuba #Haiti #Nicaragua #Venezuela #LegalStatus #HomelandSecurity #BirthrightCitizenship #TrumpImmigration #ImmigrationCrisis #SCOTUSWatch #BidenPolicy #ImmigrationDebate #USBorderCrisis #MigrantDeportation #FederalLaw #SupremeCourtNews Also Read Trump Administration Halts New Student Visa Interviews While Considering Social Media Vetting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-halts-student-visa-interviews-social-media-vetting-011-4165557.html?ref=DMDesc Government Evaluates Impeachment Motion Against Justice Yashwant Varma Amid Probe Findings :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/government-weighs-impeachment-motion-against-justice-varma-011-4165553.html?ref=DMDesc Supreme Court Halts Bhushan Power Liquidation Pending JSW Steel's Review Plea :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/supreme-court-halts-bhushan-power-liquidation-pending-jsw-steels-review-plea-4163971.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.122~
