This marked the beginning of the Civil War.

None, although one of them came close. One of the Confederate officers who went to discuss Fort Sumter's surrender accidentally drank from a bottle of poison (thinking it was whiskey) but Fort Sumter's surgeon saved his life with a stomach pump. And the only Union deaths were caused by one of their own cannon exploding as the US flag was lowered. Otherwise, Fort Sumter was a battle without casualties.
The Confederate Army casualties were 1481 dead, 7627 wounded and 89 prisoners and missing.
There were 13 cannons at Fort Sumter.
