I think this shirt covers all the bases.

I think not. England in 1775 began illegal collective punishments without trial of Boston after the Tea Party, then sent soldiers out into the countryside to steal weapons. They started the war by so doing.

In 1860 the slave power began the war by firing on an unarmed US supply ship and a US fortification. There was no oppressive behavior to justify those acts.
