President Abraham Lincoln called for troops to form a militia in April 1861 after the attack on Fort Sumter, which marked the beginning of the Civil War. His request for soldiers to suppress the rebellion led to the secession of several southern states, as they viewed his actions as a threat to their sovereignty and way of life. This division ultimately set the stage for the conflict between the North and the South.
