That is one of the great debates whenever the country is in a crisis. Which freedoms can be curbed, and for how long, in an emergency? Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. FDR interred thousands of Japanese-Americans. Nixon, Bush, and Obama all invaded the privacy of Americans in the name of Security.

How did Abraham Lincoln justify suspending habeas corpus during the civil war?

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.

They always have to. If Lincoln hadn't jailed the pro-Southern leaders in Maryland, that state would have voted Confederate, and Washington DC would have been totally enclosed within enemy states.
