The secession of the various Southern states (following South Carolina's lead) was triggered by Lincoln's rejection of the final compromise, because it would have allowed some extension of slavery.

The actual combat was triggered by the firing of Confederate artillery at the Union garrison on the island of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbour.
