Reinforcements landed at Fort Pickens on April 13, 1861 which is the same day that the truce was violated by Federal Forces at Fort Sumter.
The Union. This was a pre-war US Army fort at Pensacola, Florida. The Union also held Fort Monroe, Virginia, on the Chesapeake Bay, throughout the war.
The demand that Fort Sumter had to surrender was sent by telegraph from the Confederate Secretary of War Walker to Gen. Beauregard on April 10, 1860. The request was delivered to the Union Commander of the fort, Major Anderson, in the late afternoon of the 11th. Governor Frank Pickens had been only confidentially informed, on April 6, by a special messenger sent by the Union Government, that the steamers Pocahontas, Pawnee and Harriet Lane, were going to supply the fort exclusively with provisions.
Lincoln's initiative to send supplies to the garrison of the fort, notified to the governor Pickens of South Carolina by means of a confidentially letter, led the Confederate government to make the decision to request the fort to surrender. The request was repealed and the Confederate artillery start the bombardment of the fortress, thus making the serious responsibility for having opened the conflict, marking the importance of the battle.
