You need to check your history Texas. Lincoln was resupplying Ft. Sumter with munitions, breaking his agreement with Jefferson Davis. He was warned that was an act of war and did it anyway. The flotilla of ships were spotted in New York when they were loaded. Lincoln You need to check your facts A.Hun. Buchananna sent a single ship, the Star of the West, to replenish the supplies of the garrison. That ship was fired upon by the South. That was the 1st act of war.

Hey Yankee Johnnie The South sent people to talk peace with Lincoln in 61 he would never would meet them

That's wrong Johnnie...I'll find it for you. Regardless of one or a hundred ships, the fort was not to be reprovisioned. It and one other fort were to be ceded to the Confederacy. Lincoln reneged on the deal.
The city of Charleston had been providing the garrison there with food and water for a year.
