"Lincoln attempted to send an additional 1,000 soldiers to defend the fort" is false.
Explanation: Lincoln pledged to hold Fort Sumter and said he would not be the aggressor (he would only act if the South fired first). He sent a relief expedition to resupply the fort with provisions rather than reinforce it with troops; there was no attempt to send 1,000 soldiers. Also, no one was killed by the bombardment itself (the only fatality occurred in an accidental explosion during the surrender salute).
