"his own actions contributed to the events leading up to the war."

Hostilities began 4 months before Lincoln was sworn in.

Are you speaking of his actions as a one-term member member of the House from 1846-48?

“Hostilities began 4 months before Lincoln was sworn in.”

And just what were those hostilities? South Carolina seceding in December, 1860 was not a hostility.
