Best Answer

The three relief ships that could have resupplied Fort Sumter in April of 1861 were the USS Pawnee, the Baltic and the Harriet Lane. The Confederates believed that if they could resupply Fort Sumter, the continued occupation of the fort by the Union would be an insult. This became the primary motivation for the attack on the fort.

What is the name for a union soldier?

The Potamic soldiers (americanhistory.org) They probably would not have been called Potomac soldiers unless they were in the Union's Army of the Potomac, but the Union had other armies too. There may have been many slang terms in use at the time. Derogatory terms applied by Confederate soldiers would include Yankee and bluebelly. In a war that was called by about as many different names as there were states in conflict, Union were called by many names. The most common terms for soldiers fighting the north and south were Billy Yank and Johnny Reb, respectively. Some other terms used within ranks were Blue Jackets (nickname for Union sailors), Bummers (referred to Sherman's men who became experts at foraging during the March to the Sea), Redlegs (nickname for Union artillerymen), and Zouave (known for their unique North African style of uniform) are just a few.
