∙ 10y agoAccording to a 1862 ruling by the US Supreme Court, a state of war between the Southern States forming the Confederacy and the United States, a state of war existed on in July of 1861. As an aside, Lincoln did not end trade between North & South until August of 1961. And despite that, special permitts could be obtained from the USA to allow for various types of trade to continue for a greater part of the US Civil War.
