No. The Federal Government never recognized the Confederacy as a legitimate political entity (ie, a country); rather, they were viewed only as states in rebellion. No declaration of war was required for the government to take steps to suppress the rebellion. The Congress did, however, pass laws relating to raising armies and political and business relations with and within the rebellious states.
