Neither declared war.
The South was able to claim that it didn't want a war. It was just defending the (notional) borders of the Confederacy.
Lincoln could not declare war without recognising the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. So the North was just defending its territory too.
That is why there was no peace treaty at the end, only an armistice. And it's why some Southerners claim that the Civil War hasn't ended yet.
