Facts... The seven State confederacy started the war.

Even a blind mole knows that.
...

“In the cabinet meeting, Toombs warned Davis that firing on Fort Sumter would inaugurate the Civil War.

“Mr. President, at this time it is suicide, murder, and will lose us every friend at the North. The firing upon that fort will inaugurate a civil war greater than any the world has yet seen.” [Robert Toombs to Jefferson Davis, quoted in W. A. Swanberg, _First Blood: The Story of Fort Sumter,_ p. 286]”

*ONLY* blind moles know that. Everyone who has been spoon fed this narrative for their entire lives know that, but as Lincoln said: "Just because you call a tail a leg, doesn't make it so."

Trouble is, when you look at real, accurate facts and proof, Lincoln started the war by launching a belligerent war fleet.

Did you even know about the fleet? Had you ever heard that Lincoln sent warships to attack the Confederates?

My bet is that you have not, because only the official narrative gets put in the History books, and since the powers that be since 1861 have decreed that the Confederates started it, that is exactly what approved history books are going to reflect.

Here is a picture of one of the warships Lincoln sent to attack the Confederates.
