US President Lincoln had declared the Southern "rebellion" a threat to the Union and the US Constitution. His first step to weaken this "outlaw government" was to call up volunteers to use force to end it. He soon after understood that he had a major crisis on hand and mobilized more troops in his address to Congress in July of 1861. The First Battle of Bull Run and his call for a blockade of Southern ports were attempts to weaken the South. Aside from actual military action, his two Emancipation Proclamations were "war measures" attempting to create social chaos in the South. Also, the Confiscation Acts, were passed to confiscate Southern property that was in the way of the Union's efforts to end the Southern rebellion.
