The first battle was indeed Fort Sumter, but two Federals died during the surrender ceremony when their cannon blew up. Bull Run (AKA Battle of Mananas) was the 3rd battle of the war after the Battle of Rich Mountain where 40 Union soldier were killed and 140 Rebels. They were the first direct casualties including the first officer killed.

If the shelling of Fort Sumter is considered the first battle, then the second battle of any consequence was the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21st 1861.

However, if we consider any engagement between the opposing forces, then the engagement at Sewell's Point would be the second. It occurred May 18th and 19th, 1861. It was a minor battle near Norfolk City, Virginia, where two northern gun boats exchanged artillery fire with Confederate shore batteries at Sewell's Point.

In the US Civil War, Virginia ranked first in the number of battles fought. Tennessee ranked second. It should be noted that many large battles were fought in a pattern that began in the middle of Tennessee and moved southeast into Georgia.
