Lincoln started the war that killed and maimed more Americans than all others combined- all in the name of the rape, pillage, and subjugation of the South for the next 100 years. The South is just now recovering and assuming it's rightful place atop the American landscape.
If that doesn't deserve war crimes status, I don't know what does? (The fact that he also suspended habeas corpus, maybe?)
Everyone knows the South was FORCED to fire on Sumter. The South wanted to bow out of the Union peacefully.
The North started the war when:
A) They kidnapped two Confederate diplomats off a British flagged ship.
B) The forced re-supply of Ft. Sumter by the Star Of The West.
It's like someone breaking into your house and then get accused of "firing the first shot".
