“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain un

alienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government… Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient (temporary) causes… But when a long train of abuses… reduce them under absolute Despotism (abuse of power), it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

Who called for troops right after the firing on Fort Sumter?​
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Abraham Lincoln called for troops right after the firing on Fort Sumter.

Explanation:

The bombing of Fort Sumter, a fort that housed the Federal Army, at the entrance to the bay off Charleston, South Carolina, took place on April 12, 1861.

After South Carolina declared secession from the Union on December 20, 1860, its example was followed by six other states in the southern United States, and they formed an independent Confederation. In early April 1861, North Carolina authorities demanded that the Federal Army leave Fort Sumter, a fort located in an area no longer considered part of the Union. The Union refused to give up the fort, and when the deadline for the ultimatum passed, the Confederate army began artillery barrage fire, which lasted until the surrender of the fortress. No life was lost on either side in the direct conflict. President Abraham Lincoln used this event as a symbolic justification for calling 75,000 volunteers into the Union Army for the purpose of suppressing the insurgency.
