In his speech he laid out the legal arguments for the war and the military actions he had taken while Congress was not in session. Lincoln asked for the legal means he believed were necessary to make a quick end to the Southern rebellion. he also asked the Congress for $400 million to accomplish this and the authority to add 400,000 troops to the army.As an aside, in 1862, the US Supreme Court ruled that the war officially started on the previously mentioned 1861 date.
