Suspending writs of habeas corpus during the Civil War allowed the government to detain individuals without immediate trial or formal charges, aimed at maintaining public order and suppressing dissent. This controversial measure, enacted by President Abraham Lincoln, was justified as necessary for national security, particularly in response to threats from Confederate sympathizers and unrest in border states. Critics argued it violated constitutional rights, highlighting the tension between civil liberties and wartime security. Ultimately, the suspension reflected the challenges of governance during a period of intense national crisis.
Abraham Lincoln justified suspending habeas corpus during the Civil War by arguing that it was a necessary measure to preserve the Union and protect the nation from rebellion and insurrection. He believed that in times of national emergency, the government must take extraordinary steps to maintain order and security. Lincoln maintained that this suspension was essential to ensure the swift apprehension of those who threatened the stability of the country, particularly in border states where loyalty was uncertain. Ultimately, he viewed the preservation of the Union as paramount, even if it meant temporarily limiting certain civil liberties.

The United States government evacuated Japanese American citizens to 'camps' further inland due to the fact that they believed that some of the Japanese American citizens were spying on American military facilities, such as shipping yards. It it interesting to note that German citizens on the east-coast were not evacuated further inland. Some historians today believe it may have been due to racism to Asians.
