Unfortunately, Tecumseh almost immediately struck a mine (called 'torpedos' at that time) that exploded and ripped out her bottom. She sank almost instantly, her stern rising out of the water so that the propeller was seen turning in the air as she slipped beneath the waves.] from

The answer is Private Daniel Hough (US) who was killed on April 14th by an explosing cannon during the evacuation ceremonies at Fort Sumter, SC.

 

[raggedrebel]

Union Pvt. Daniel Hough (by accidental friendly fire at Ft. Sumter)

RR

 

[mobile_96]

Pvt. Daniel Hough,First US Artillery, April 14, at Fort Sumter.

 

[snoopy]

This is in dispute. Pvt. Daniel Hough was killed on April 14, 1861 when a shell exploded during the salute signalling the evacuation of Fort Sumter.
Also Col. Elmer Ephraim Ellsworth was killed by a southerner when he attempted to take down the Confederate flag from a hotel in Alexandria, Virginia. I believe either would qualify for the answer since one was not a result of enemy fire but was in fact a casualty of an accident while the other was from a shooting by an enemy.

 

[stonewall89]
