What did John Bell Hood do?
He led the Army of Tennessee to disaster. The Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, fired Joe Johnston and replaced him with Hood, because Hood was Jefferson's idea of a good Confederate, a real gung-ho fighter and leader. (Johnston's policy of minimising his casualties because the South was running out of manpower did not strike Davis as the Confederate thing to do.) Hood turned out quite wrong as an army commander, and squandered precious lives everywhere. His defeat by George Thomas at Nashville was the only decisive rout of a Confederate army.

Who kept Fort Sumter from being resupplied?
Fort Sumpter was one of the United States forts that was attacked during the civil war. It was in fact the first fort attacked, and started the war on its destructive path. The reason it was not resupplied was because the Confederates had the fort under heavy cannon fire, and the confederate ships were blocking the harbor. Also, the north realized that they would lose more troops trying to get supplies to the fort than if they didn't. They made the wise choice that saved many soldiers lives.
