Abner Doubleday Fires First Union Shots of the Civil War. On April 12th 1861 South Carolina troops opened fire on Fort Sumter. In response to this assault Abner Doubleday divided his company into three details to return fire, the first shot against the rebellion was fired by Abner Doubleday and his men.
The two men met on the field of honor in Weehawken, New Jersey on the morning of July 11, 1804. Interestingly enough, Hamiltonâs son had fallen to a mortal blow in a duel at the very same place just two years before. The same guns used in his duel were also used in his fatherâs. The accounts of precisely what happened are conflicting, but it is generally thought that Hamilton fired first, aiming high and missing Burr completely. Burr then aimed squarely at Hamiltonâs torso and returned fire.
