Lincoln strengthens his blockcade. (CYOAH)

After considering rather to strengthen his blockade, attack the oncoming Canadian forces, or to inlist one of Britain's enemies to help the Union Lincoln stepped back in to the meeting and ordered the strengthening of his blockade of the East Coast.

On a cool August morning, a Confederate navy lookout got up from his bed to look at the view of his home by the coast only to spot thousands and thousands of Union Ironclads blocking the coast. Knowing that it was his job to report this to his captain, he immediately ran to his captain and yelled as loud as he can, "The Yankies are here! The Yankies are here!" And immediately after his cry went out towards his captain, the Union blockade attacked the little Confederate ship and sunk it in just two minutes.

With reports of the Union blockade strengthening reaching Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Jefferson was forced to make a choice either send in his previously used ironclads or wait till the British navy attack the blockade.
 * 'We can't waste a single minute, if we do the Confederacy will be no more!"
 * "Just let the British deal with it."
