Lincoln’s policies started a Civil War.

The southron slavers set us on a course for war long before Lincoln was elected, much less assumed office.

Spielberg only had one of them assassinated, though (so far anyway).

The war was started by the rebels. They began their insurrection before Lincoln took office.

The insurrection could not be in response to anything Lincoln did as president.
