Answer:

At 4:30 am on April 12, 1861

Step-by-step explanation:

"A signal mortar shell was fired from Fort Johnson over Fort Sumter. Firing from surrounding batteries soon followed, starting the battle. Edmund Ruffin (A Virginia secessionist), claimed to have fired the "first shot" of the battle and the Civil War."

Hope it helps!
