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.
Civil liberties are about seeking a balance because leaning too heavily in either direction will lead to major societal and humanitarian problems. Too few civil liberties lead to oppression, while too many civil liberties may lead to a complete break down of the rule of law.
people feared that important American liberties were threatened

Most people would agree that he did the right thing in jailing certain leaders in Maryland who might have driven that state into the arms of the Confederates. If Maryland and the other 'buffer-states' had joined the Confederacy, the outcome might have been very different.

if i knew the answer i wouldnt be looking for an answer
they were justified just as Javarius Jamar Javarsion-Lamar once said
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.
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.
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.
