At the onset of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln took decisive action by calling for 75,000 volunteer troops to suppress the rebellion following the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861. He also suspended habeas corpus in certain areas, allowing for the detention of individuals without trial to maintain order and prevent dissent. These measures aimed to strengthen the Union's response to the growing civil unrest and rebellion in the Southern states.
