Answer 1

Answer:

Correct Answer:

1 relied heavily on executive orders to mobilize troops, purchase warships, and obtain funds from the U.S. Treasury.

Explanation:

President Lincoln saw it as his duty as an elected President of United State of america to preserve the entity called US rather than allow the Southern States to breakaway from it. Inorder to achieve this, he had to mobilise weapons, troops and obtain funds for the persecution of the war ongoing.

Inorder to persecute the war successfully while avoidind the treacherous waters of partisan politics, he had no option than to rely heavily on executive orders based on his believe that the constitution and the presidential oath empowered him to “to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the U.S.”
