Tuesday, October 22: In January 1863, in the middle of the American Civil War, some Confederate troops started a snowball fight, following heavy snowfall in Virginia's Rappahannock Valley. Things escalated, and by the end over 9,000 soldiers were involved in the battle. Snowballing was subsequently banned among the troops, after rocks were included in some of the snowballs, causing severe injuries.
My question is... were those 9,000 soldiers all from the same side?? If so, why on earth would they want to throw rocks at each other??
