History pop quiz answers

OK, we'll just have to taken as a given that woffprof would've kicked everybody's derrieres with this one, but I'm pretty impressed by how many people knew what happened on each of these dates.

Some of the events were referred to in different ways by different people, eg. 1861 events included shots at Ft. Sumter and the beginning of the Civil War. I know some of the people who only referred to the Civil War beginning probably considered Ft. Sumter to just be part of that and not a separate event on its own. I figure some of you didn't. Made judgment calls re. who recognized what :)

And wherever people came up with events I hadn't been thinking of that were still of major historical significance, I counted those too. Sorry, culturevulture and mynuet, but the birthdates of Secretariat, Man O'War, and mynuet's sister didn't quite make the cut ;)
