It depends on the sympathies of the person you ask. Northern partisans say the south provoked the war by seceding from the Union. Southern partisans say everybody knew you could get out of the Union if you wanted to up until Lincoln changed the rules with the war, and that Lincoln provoked the war by refusing to evacuate US Army bases in the new southern nation, and by trying to resupply the forces in those forts and bases.
