There actually never was an actual battle at Ft. Sumter. After the secession of the confederate states, most of the forts in the South had relinquished their power to the Confederacy, but Fort Sumter was among the two that didn't. And since its supplies were running out against a besieging South Carolinian army, Lincoln had a problem of how to deal with the situation. * Lincoln wisely chose to send supplies to the fort, and he told the South Carolinian governor that the ship to the fort only held provisions, not reinforcements. * However, to the South, provisions were reinforcements, and on April 12, 1861, cannons were fired onto the fort; after 34 hours of non-lethal firing, the fort surrendered.
