Regarding the date of the Battle of Ft. Sumter. The answer is April 12, 1861.

At 4:30am a signal rocket was fired by condeferate forces by command of General Pierre G.T. de Beauregard on orders from Jefferson Davis himself, thus beginning the battle and signalizing the beginning of the Civil War.
The commander of Ft. Sumter and its union garrison was Major Robert Anderson. After a 34-hour bombardment the union garrison surrendered, the Union Jack was lowered and the red and blue confederate flag was raised.
