What was the date when 4 states left the union after the attack at fort Sumter?
The four upper south states did not all secede on the same day. The day after the attack on Fort Sumter, April 15, 1861, Lincoln called for 75,000 troops to help "suppress the rebellion", and assigned a quota of part of that 75,000 to each state, including the four states of the upper south. That put those four states to the decision of whether to help make war on their relatives and neighbors in adjoining states, or to throw in with them. Each of the four states had to work its way through whatever political framework had been created for making the decision on whether to secede. Virginia, for instance, had a Convention to decide the issue which had been meeting since February 13, after the seven states which were the first to secede had formed the Confederate States of America on February 4. The Virginia Convention had actually voted against secession on April 4, but then eight days later the attack on Sumter began, and on April 15 came Lincoln's call for troops from Virginia. Since the Virginia Convention was already meeting and able to decide the issue, they were able to vote to secede on April 17. It took North Carolina a month longer, because a statewide referendum had to be organized to let all the eligible voters vote on the issue, so North Carolina did not secede until May 20.

After Fort Sumter (April 12th), when Lincoln responded by appealing for volunteer troops to defend the Union.

They did not all go out on the same day. The first was South Carolina, on December 20, 1860. By February, 1861, six more states from the deep south had also seceded. The other four of the upper south did not go out until after the firing on Fort Sumter. The day after Sumter surrendered Lincoln called on those states of the upper south to help fight the states of the lower south, so they had to chose whether to stay in the union and fight their neighbors, or go out and join with them. The last was North Carolina, on May 18, after Virginia and Tennessee had also done so, leaving them "surrounded" by states of the Confederacy.
Why didn't Tennessee secede right away?
Tennessee did not secede immediately after the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 due to a combination of political, social, and economic factors.

Additionally, there was a belief among some leaders that secession could be avoided through negotiation and compromise. It wasn't until the onset of the Civil War and the attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861 that Tennessee ultimately decided to join the Confederacy.
