Edmund Ruffin III (January 5, 1794 – June 18, 1865) was a wealthy Virginia planter who served in the Virginia Senate from 1823 to 1827. In the last three decades before the American Civil War, his pro-slavery writings received more attention than his agricultural work. Ruffin, a slaveholder, staunchly advocated states' rights and slavery, arguing for secession years before the Civil War, and became a political activist with the so-called Fire-Eaters. Ruffin is given credit for "firing the first shot of the war" at the Battle of Fort Sumter in April 1861 and fought as a Confederate soldier despite his advanced age. When the war ended in Southern defeat in 1865, he committed suicide rather than submit to "Yankee rule."

  • إدموند روفين (بالإنجليزية: Edmund Ruffin)‏ (ولد في الخامس من يناير عام 1794 وتوفي في 18 يونيو عام 1865). كان مزارعًا ثريًا من فيرجينيا ومالكًا للعبيد. خلال العقود الثلاثة الأخيرة قبل الحرب الأهلية الأمريكية، حظيت كتاباته المؤيدة للرق بقدر من الاهتمام أكثر من عمله الزراعي. كان روفين حريصًا على الدفاع عن حقوق الولايات والاستعباد، داعيًا إلى الإنفصال قبل سنوات من الحرب الأهلية، وأصبح ناشطًا سياسيًا مع ما كان يُسمى حينها بـ«آكلي النار». يُنسب لروفين قيامه بـ «إطلاق الطلقة الأولى في الحرب» في معركة فورت سومتر في شهر أبريل من عام 1861 وقاتل كجندي كونفدرالي رغم تقدمه في السن. عندما انتهت الحرب بخسارة الجنوب عام 1865، انتحر بدلًا من الخضوع لـ «حُكم يانكي».
