As the Civil War drew to a close, President Lincoln's rhetoric shifted towards themes of reconciliation and healing rather than punishment. He emphasized unity and compassion, advocating for a peaceful reintegration of the Southern states into the Union. In his second inaugural address, he called for "malice toward none" and "charity for all," reflecting his desire to foster a sense of hope and collective rebuilding in a war-torn nation. This change illustrated his vision for a post-war America focused on forgiveness and progress.
President Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus (a writ ordering a prisoner to be brought before a judge) during the Civil War.

President Lincoln's rhetoric evolved primarily due to the shifting context of the Civil War and the need to unify the nation. Initially, he focused on preserving the Union and avoiding the issue of slavery to maintain border state support. As the war progressed and the moral imperative of ending slavery became clearer, he adopted stronger anti-slavery language, culminating in the Emancipation Proclamation. This shift reflected both a strategic political necessity and a deepening personal conviction about the importance of liberty and equality.
