Lincoln said war was necessary because the north was good to the black but the south had slavery against the black.
On April 12, 1861, America was split up into two parts. The north & the south. The North was the United States of America. The South was the Confederate States of America. The president of the Confederate States of America was Jefferson Davis. The president of the United States of America was Abraham Lincoln. They were considered the Presidents of the Civil War.
One significant political result of the US Civil War was what was coined as the "solid South". What this meant was that because President Lincoln was a Republican, and the majority of the Congress during and after the war was also Republican. The result was that the Southern States were solid supporters of Democrats. This is no longer the situation. One might say that certainly since the beginning of the Reagan era, the Southern States will vote on issues impacting them, not on party lines.
By the time of Lincoln's assassination, the Civil War was over. Lee has surrendered along with Johnston and Forrest and most southern people believed that Lincoln would be far more gracious in reconstruction than the new President, Andrew Johnson. Mary Chestnut knew that with Lincoln having been murdered, the south would be treated far worse by the Union occupational troops and politically in Washington. She turned out to be completely correct.

Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln was president when the Civil War started and towards the end before he was assassinated, but it's not entirely accurate to say that Lincoln "started" the war. It was caused fundamentally by civil unrest between the north and south of the U.S. The secessionists fired the first shots, at Fort Sumter.

There is no evidence to suggest that Abraham Lincoln blamed Harriet Beecher Stowe for starting the Civil War. Stowe's novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" did contribute to shaping public opinion on slavery, but the Civil War was ultimately ignited by deep-rooted tensions over slavery and states' rights in the United States. Lincoln's leadership during the war focused on preserving the Union and ending slavery.
