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.
Sumter was "The Gamecock". He was the leader of a partisan band, guerrillas, irregular soldiers and/or militia, fighting the British and Loyalist bands in South Carolina during the Revolution. There were several of these leaders active in South Carolina in the latter half of the Revolution, others being Francis Marion ("The Swamp Fox"), John Laurens and Andrew Pickens.
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.
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 The request was repealed and the Confederate artillery start the bombardment of the fortress, thus making the serious responsibility for having opened the conflict, marking the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.

The surrender of Fort Sumter
Thomas Sumter, Andrew Pickens, and Francis Marion were all prominent military leaders and guerrilla fighters during the American Revolutionary War, specifically in the Southern theater. They are known for their effective use of unconventional warfare tactics against British forces, earning them the nickname "Swamp Fox" for Marion and the title of "Carolina Gamecock" for Sumter. All three contributed significantly to the American cause by rallying local militias and leveraging their knowledge of the terrain to launch surprise attacks. Their leadership and strategies helped turn the tide in favor of the American colonists in the South.
