The fort was a United States installation and South Carolina was still a part of the United States. Lincoln had every right to provision whatever property he wished. Once South Carolina fired on Fort Sumter, it committed an act of treason against the government. How is this not simple?

Because South Carolina pulled itself out of the Union and declared that they had the sovereign rights to any installations or property within its borders.
