Liberty needs to be nurtured because it is a fragile concept as Lincoln thinks of it. Lincoln perception of liberty declared that spread of slavery can be deprives the republic of United State which can bring doubt of freedom which can tend to increase slavery. President Lincoln thinks that liberty work as justice in the concepts in United State whereby men were degraded by other men which makes slave be a product in a way of praising.

Principles that used to measure freedom were extent that optimizes individual liberty and the other principle was extent to which decision were made and process of controlling. These two principles made President Lincoln to view the foundation of freedom.

Most of people were slaves especially black Americans which make President Lincoln to focus on destructing the slavery by enhancing unity in the nations. In United State the lack unity whereby hatred was created between white American and Black Americans. President Lincoln places so much importance on destructing slavery and continuation of one nation in order to bring the black and white people in order to bring unity and to overcome hatred.
