Explanation:
A political party is a group of people with similar political goals and opinions. The purpose of the political party is to get candidates elected to public office.
It started because Lincoln had won the 1860 election on a ticket of no new slave-states, so the South was doomed to be outvoted in Congress, which would pass laws that favoured the North at the expense of the South. So most of the slave-states broke away to form the Confederate States of America.
As for when it started, there was no actual declaration of war. The Confederacy could claim that it didn't want a war at all; it just wanted to defend its borders. Lincoln could not declare war on the Confederacy, because Congress did not recognise it as a sovereign nation.
The first shots were fired by the Confederates at the US Army garrison on the island of Fort Sumter in Charleston harbour on April 12th 1861, and Lincoln called for volunteer troops. The war was on.

If the Olive Branch Petition was honored, the American colonists and Great Britain would have continued their relationship. This would mean the following events would have most likely not occurred.
1) American Revolutionary War. - All of the battles that took place after July 1775 (when the Olive Branch Petition was adopted) would have not taken place.
2) Declaration of Independence- America wouldn't have declared themselves an independent nation if they worked out their problems with the British.
3) Articles of Confederation- This constitution was created as a means to unite the American colonists in their fight against the British government/military.
