Title 10, Section 332 was enacted in 1861 at the request of President [[Abraham Lincoln]] to increase Presidential authority to use the militia and the regular army to suppress insurrections and enforce the laws. This law was the legal basis for waging the Civil War. This law allows the President to use federal troops on his own initiative and act on his own judgment without waiting for a request from a governor.
