Wrong. The constitution never intended for the Southern States to secede. That's why it was a treasonous at. And this was a constitution written by southern slave holders for southern slave holders. The fact of the matter is that by 1850 the leaders of the dixiecrats knew the writing was on the wall for slavery. Southern populations were stagnating, the territories were being populated by nortern abolitionists and Europeans thus potentially swinging the senate and electoral college against them. They were preparing for civil war from that moment on, and they declared it almost from the moment President Lincoln was elected by the will of the people. Once southern slaveholders didn't control tge Presidency they declared war on their country.

The Civil War was the Souths doing. Nobody elses.

Incorrect.  The Constitution never made clear whether a state could leave the Union or not.  That's why New England almost seceded over the war of 1812.

Lincoln had an option.  Let the South go or start a war to prevent them from doing so.  It was his decision that there would be war.
