This doesn't really have anything to do with the Civil War, but I'll answer it anyway. I'd say that the Declaration of Independence definitely was an action that the Continental Congress took to pursue war.
The Second Continental Congress managed the war effort during the American Revolution. They drafted The Declaration of Independence to declare the colonies as an independent nation.
The Second Continental Congress authorized the formation of the Continental Army, appointed George Washington as its commander, established a navy, and began seeking foreign alliances for support in the fight against British rule. Additionally, it took steps toward drafting the Declaration of Independence, which ultimately led to the colonies declaring their independence from Britain.

1. raised armies by creating continental armies. 2. appointed diplomats and sent them to Europe. 3. allowed for the arrangement and ratification of formal treaties; starting with offering peace to Britain.
There were key steps and events that lead up to ratification of the constitution. Each colony ensured their concerns were met during the Continental Congress negotiations.
On May 10, 1775, soon after the American Revolutionary war began, the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia The delegates of the 13 colonies met to discuss their next steps towards Independence On this same day the Americans captured the Fort Ticonderoga. The United States Declaration of Independence was adopted on July4, 1776.
Before the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Second Continental Congress took several significant actions. They established the Continental Army, appointing George Washington as its commander, and began to organize the colonies' defenses against British forces. Additionally, the Congress issued the Olive Branch Petition in July 1775, seeking a peaceful resolution to the conflict, while simultaneously preparing for potential military engagement as tensions escalated. These steps laid the groundwork for the colonies' push towards independence.
The Second Continental Congress served as the de facto national government for the thirteen colonies during the Revolutionary War, coordinating the colonial response to British aggression. It managed military efforts, established the Continental Army, and appointed George Washington as its commander. The Congress also took steps to secure foreign alliances and finance the war effort, ultimately leading to the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Its actions laid the groundwork for the future United States government.
The First Continental Congress sought reconciliation between the Crown and the colonies. The Second Continental Congress eventually declared the independence of the colonies. The Second Congress also sat for very much longer than the First, in part because it was needed to prosecute the war of Independence. This fact also explains why the First Continental Congress did not continue to meet. They met for two months and did what they had come to do -- agree on a response to Britain's "Intolerable Acts" (the bills Parliament passed to punish Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party, and warn others against similar acts). The First Congress wrote several letters to the King, the British, the colonies (including Quebec), pleading for support and the repeal of the Acts. They ALSO agreed on a phased-in boycott. And finally, they called for another meeting in the spring (the Second Congress) if matters were not resolved by these steps. You might compare the "Stamp Act Congress" of 1765 after which, along with boycotting, the colonists succeeded in convincing Parliament to rescind the Stamp Act. They hoped for something similar in the First Congress and the beginning of the Second.
