Kings men tried to confiscate guns and kicked off the American Revolution. (there's a lesson in there somewhere)
April 19, 1861, the first blood of the American Civil War is shed when a secessionist mob in Baltimore attacks Massachusetts troops bound for Washington, D.C. Four soldiers and 12 rioters were killed.
I think OKC was April 19th too.
April 19, 1993 Branch Davidian compound burns.
Ugg, one of my brothers was born on April 19th lol.
Lots of Historical things happened on that date but I don't know if any more or less than any other date, but it sure seems to stand out.
