Step-by-step explanation:
The call that arose from northern newspapers towards the South was a call for peaceful negotiations. After the fall of Fort Sumter in 1861, Abraham Lincoln called for volunteers to join federal forces to put down the Southern rebellion. The response from state militias was overwhelming, and the Northern troops exceeded the requisition. The firing on Fort Sumter convinced most northerners that the time had come to defend the Union, but Lincoln focused solely on the need to preserve the Union in his speeches, fearing that talk of slavery would divide the northerners.
