The north did. There is a massive public misconception that the war was about slavery. It was not Lincoln and his cabinet in liaison with northern industrial companies wanted economic domination of the south. When South Carolina seceded the base at Fort Sumter was starving and Lincoln styling a union flotilla "Relief Squadron" arived using the pretext of freeing the federal troops at the fort. Using skillful maneuvering and misdirection, Lincoln manipulated the south into firing the first shots. Lincoln had been planning the war all along Lincoln was not the honest man he is portrayed to be. Long live the south!

The above account may be biased.
There are conflicting sources and views. As you can see above the South believe that the North was At Fault and well, read it. However the North have a far different view that the South seceded and that they threatened fort Sumter, and demolished it. They believe that the South didn't want to end slavery (after all, it IS cheap labor on huge plantations) and that for that reason they seceded. Either side will tell you that "no, the other side started it not us".
