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.
