The Battle of Fort Sumter was important because the Confederates fired the first shots of the Civil War. Indeed they were "compelled" to do it by Lincoln's
clever initiative of confidentially noticing South Carolina's Governor Pickens that a naval convoy would have brought to the fort food and medical supplies, but no arms, ammunition and reinforcements. That led the Government of Montgomery to militarily react in order to prevent the Confederacy's Independence from being injured by the Union.
So, the surrendering of the fort was asked but repealed by the Union Commander Major Anderson and the hostilities broke out.
