No doubt both parties claimed that they disapproved of war. But by the time Lincoln got elected, there weren't many pacifists around on either side.

The South was so sure it could beat the North that it was willing to risk a war, rather than accept Lincoln's ban on new slave-states. (Remember, Lincoln had not insisted on abolition, only on no extension of the slave-empire.)

And some of Lincoln's cabinet were willing to fight the Confederates and the British at the same time, following the US naval capture of Confederate envoys from a British ship.

What guaranteed US citizenship to African-Americans?

the 14th amendment does. The 14th Amendment did not give African's [born on the land mass called North America] citizenship because it did not legally give the Africans the freedom to choose whether or not they wanted to accept the status of "Person" under the 14th amendment, or return to there home-land after compensation for there forced labor. The term black American is a insult to conscious African's who realize that a nation of people can not be codified as a color. To accept the term Black means that a people have cut-off there connection to there African past and ancestors. To be more technical the Constitution for the United States is legally a dysfunctional compact, treaty, contract which never included the people who assume that they are parties to it. Remember the phrase: "We bestow this to ourselves and our Posterity", Posterity legally means direct descendants only. Until African's [ born on the land mass called North America] create a compact, treaty, or constitution with the parties of interest who created that document called the Constitution for the United States, citizenship for African's [born on the land mass called North America] will remain a figment of the imagination for an entire people called Africans [born on the land mass called North America]. Additionally, the first 8 Presidents under the Constitution for The United States were british subjects, and subjects cannot create, enforce, or make party of anyone to treaties, compacts or contracts. I suggest that all concerned parties remove there emotional thoughts about the Constitution and read it true for the highly technical document that it is. More to come.....
