No. The war events that unfolded into the US Civil War started with the Confederates attacking Fort Sumter. It happened April 12, 1861 at 4:30am. Fort Sumter is located in Charleston Harbor. When the US Supreme Court required an official date of the beginning of the war, they chose July of 1861. This is when Lincoln addressed the Congress for funds and the ability to recruit new soldiers into the struggle. The decision by the Court was rendered in 1862.

As an aside, the US never declared war on the Confederacy, it was deemed a rebellion that had to be ended by military force.
