The events leading to the beginning of the US Civil War began on April 12, 1861. Confederate forces bombarded US Fort Sumter in the Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. The fort was forced to surrender. President Lincoln then called for 75,000 volunteers to end the Southern Rebellion. The US Supreme Court ruled that the conflict officially began in July 1861 when Lincoln called the US Congress together to authorize funds and supplies to end the rebellion. For the South the war began in May of 1861, when the Confederate congress recognized that a state of war existed between the Confederate States of America and the United States.

Who one the undelcared war in Vietnam?
No need to "over-use" that "undeclared war..." term. If folks go by that term, people will begin to have troubles defining the American Civil War (aka US Civil War); for, much to the chagrin of Civil War buffs...the Civil War wasn't a declared war either. And by the way, the Civil War was officially called the "War of the Rebellion" (NOT the Civil War). One more note: there hasn't been a US declared war since WWII! So who won the Vietnam War? North Vietnam won the war!
