Ft. Sumter in Charleston Harbor, Charleston, South Carolina. The South fired on the Union fort and started the war.
Some claim that the first first shots were fired 3 months before the bombardment of Fort Sumter. On January 9th or 10th, 1861, Confederate batteries on Morris Island, manned by cadets from The Citadel, fired on the Union supply ship Star of the West. The Star of the West was attempting to resupply Union forces at Fort Sumter. Although the ship wasn't hit, Confederate forces were successful in driving the ship off.
Shots were also fired by northern/union forces on January 8th, 1861, at Fort Barrancas (Pensacola, Florida) under the command of Lt. Adam J. Slemmer, firing at what were probably Alabama militia.
The Confederate artillery in Charleston fired at the Union garrison on the harbour-island of Fort Sumter on April 12th 1861.
