Fort Sumter was legally South Carolina's property, and the Confederate government had exercised much "forbearance" to achieve a fair agreement with the federal government. The Lincoln government thwarted these plans by dispatching "a hostile navy" to Sumter. This attack is referred as the battle of fort summer.
Two days or less later, the fort was abandoned. There was no fatality. The Civil War, the bloodiest struggle in American history, began with this battle.
The Lincoln government did not fight because it supported slavery; Lincoln chose to do so rather than allow the Southern states to secede. Instead, he believed it was his sacred responsibility as President of the United States to do whatever it took him to keep the Union intact.
