No, Lincoln sent troops to hold on to federal property and a state that was a part of the union.
Apparently, sending food to your own troops is choosing war.

While there’s something to be said for the ceding of Sumter to the US, I think SC and the Confederacy recognized this, hence the offer to reimburse the US for it during peace negotiations. When SC ceded the forts to the US, the US was still an agent for the state’s defense. After SC seceded that relationship obviously changed and it seems that SC and the Confederacy acted in good faith during the negotiations. Despite this, SC and the Confederacy were apparently misled and means for their subjugation were already under way when they took the property back. SC and the Confederacy respected the US’s property right until their sovereignty was threatened I would say. And I would say it’s telling which side seemed to be acting in good faith and which wasn’t.
