Two actions taken by the Continental Congress from functions conferred on it by the Articles of Confederation were, for example, the development of military operations during the Revolutionary War, and the establishment of the currency of the United States (colloquially called "continental ").
Thus, the Articles of Confederation, created in 1777, unified the former American colonies into a Confederation governed by a congress made up of members from each of those colonies, through equal representation. Its main functions were to guide the country in the war against Great Britain, as well as to organize the nation economically (although without being able to collect taxes, and delegating many monetary and financial functions to the states).
Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to enlist. Lincoln used judicial procedures to uphold the Union. Lee joined the Southern army as ALL slave holding states seceded.
