Why don’t you blame the perpetrators for the harm they did to this country!?!

I do. Lincoln should have left them alone. They had a right to independence if they wanted it, and slavery would have withered and died eventually on it's own. It didn't need 750,000 people to be killed, and massive destruction across the states of people who just wanted to be left alone to accomplish it.

Yet rather than accepting their first minority role in a long time, they commented a bloody civil war !

They didn't commit a civil war. Lincoln turned their efforts to be independent into a war of subjugation. It was he that initiated the first aggressive action against them by sending that war fleet to attack them.

Had Lincoln not sent that fleet of warships, Sumter would have been evacuated peacefully, and there would have been no war. Lincoln needed a war, and so he started one.
