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.
