Of course you're funning, but this gives me the chance to refer to an
incident described in Herbert Asbury's book, "The French Quarter", where
a riot broke out in c. 1800 New Orleans and someone was killed because
of a conflict over whether to do American or French contradanses at a
public ball.

The incident that actually ignited the French
Revolution was a group
of dancers at a public dance in Paris who insisted on a left
allemande, despite the caller's pleas for a right allemande--much more
mundane than the incident at Fort Sumter which ignited the United
States' Civil War, or the assassination of Duke Ferdinand which
ignited WWI.
