The civil war was started because Abraham Lincoln started supressing slavery which made the south come to the conclusion that he would eventually banish slavery all together. So the south broke off from the union causing the civil war. But if you meant battle than it was Battle of Fort Sumter which was basically a confederate siege on the union held Fort sumter of the coast of South Carolina.

I havn't studied the civil war in a while so feel free to slap me with the reality if I am wrong In anyway.
