Lincoln realized that the North and the South had very different views and opinions on the future of the country, and he realized that this severely threatened the nation. If I were Lincoln's chief adviser, I would give these five reasons for the preservation of the Union:

- By remaining unified, we will be able to benefit from the crops of the South, as well as the industry of the North.
