It never did.
The newly-formed Confederacy could claim that it didn't want a war.
Lincoln could not declare war on the Confederacy without recognising it as a sovereign nation.
All he could do was to announce that he was putting down a rebellion of certain of his own states, and that he would need volunteer troops to do the job.
That is how the war started.
