No wars started in the US while he was President. The Civil War began about a month after he left office in 1861.
No- The war started after he left office.
Yes. The first shots at Fort Sumter were fired in April of 1861 after Lincoln took office. However seven southern states seceded before Lincoln took office, so there was a grave threat of war when Lincoln began his term.
The Korean War started when President Harry S. Truman was in office. President Dwight D. Eisenhower took office near the end of the conflict.
The US Civil War (1861-1865) & the Vietnam War (1961-1975).
President from 1869-1877
Lincoln was president when the Civil War started and towards the end before he was assassinated, but it's not entirely accurate to say that Lincoln "started" the war. It was caused fundamentally by civil unrest between the north and south of the U.S. The secessionists fired the first shots, at Fort Sumter.
Abraham Lincoln was the president until the Civil War started and then the south got their own president which was Jefferson Davis And I'm related to Jefferson Davis by blood. :)
1861
His period in office coincided precisely with the American Civil War (1861-1865)
he started the civil war and won. not much later he was killed.
President of the United States.
