Actually, it was the South who declared war on the North when it shelled Ft. Sumner in 1861. For Lincoln it came down to keeping the union together and in the South it was a states right issue. They felt they had the right to determine the issue of slavery. Today the argument is the same, but the issue is abortion instead of slavery.
