The South actually fired the first shot. On April 12, 1861 Confederate soldiers fired upon Fort Sumter when Union forces were staying, effectively beginning the Civil War.
Lincoln's intentions toward the South after the war ended was to start reconstructing the South.
Reconstruction Plan.
Restoration of the union.
He saved the slaves from the South and Saved the Union during the civil war.
one of them was the war between the north [Union] and the south.

Give them back to their owners.
Lincoln would use military force only when necessary.
The 10 Percent Plan was the title of Lincoln's plan for the South's recovery from from the war.
After the Civil War Lincoln was without a doubt proud of the union for what they had done.
Lincoln asked them to return, but they refused. So he waited. It wasn't until the south attacked Fort Sumpter that Lincoln declared war.
