Abraham Lincoln agonized over the Fort Sumter issue because it represented a critical test of his leadership and the preservation of the Union. The fort was a Union stronghold in the Confederate territory, and its surrender could be seen as a sign of weakness, while reinforcing it risked escalating the conflict into a full-scale war. Lincoln sought to balance the need to uphold federal authority with the desire to avoid provoking further hostility from the Southern states. Ultimately, his decision to resupply the fort led to the Confederate attack, marking the beginning of the Civil War.
