Best Answer

The succession of the eleven slaves states, which formed the Confederated States of America, followed by the election of President Lincoln were what led to the start of hostilities in the American Civil War. It was the Confederate force's bombardment of Fort Sumter in South Carolina on April 12, 1861, that actually started the war.
