The official start of the Civil War would be the Confederate bombardment of the Union Fort Sumter, which would later be known as the Battle of Fort Sumter. It took place from April 12 to 14, 1861. In response, President Lincoln called for 75, 000 volunteers to suppress the rebellion and 4 other states ceded to the CSA, starting the war.

How can the confederates morally justify the Civil War given their reason?

They could always claim that they didn't want a war. They just wanted the right to secede. Any war would have to be declared by the Union - though in practice, Lincoln could not do this without appearing to recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. That is why the Civil War had no official beginning, and no official end.
