Fort Summer

Located in Charleston harbor, with less than a hundred men. this fort was the fort that if lincoln didnt send supplies they'd have to surrender but if he did send supplies and what not he would have provoked south carolinians to open fire on fort sumter. so lincoln chose a middle of the road solution! :) so he sent food and other supplies nessesary to living but no amunition. then S.C. opened fire because they believe  this was not a good choice so they had a 34 hour bombard where they killed no one! this happened april 12 1861.
