To provision the garrison but not reinforce it.
Lincoln's decision to send supplies to Fort Sumter was difficult because it risked escalating tensions between the Union and the Confederacy. On one hand, resupplying the fort could be seen as a provocation, potentially igniting conflict; on the other hand, failing to do so could be interpreted as abandoning federal property and authority. He had to balance the need to uphold the Union's integrity while avoiding war, making the decision fraught with political and military implications. Ultimately, this choice set the stage for the Civil War.
