If you meant that question literally then the answer is the America got all his land mostly by the battle of independence from Great Britain in which it got all the territory that the british took or claim after the french-indian war in which france and the british sign a treaty which stated that all territory gain from battle most be return. In which the british later =send a huge debt to the 13 colonies that stated that they most pay for all the damage done thanks to the french and indian war
For Lincoln, allowing American democracy to succeed was compatible with the ideal of freedom; allowing secessionists to destroy it (in response to a democratic election) was not. In other words, Lincoln did not believe that true freedom was letting states do their own thing--and letting the pillars of American constitutional democracy run amok--but instead, in maintaining a union where the great experiment of democracy could flourish. As Lincoln himself said quite clearly in the Gettysburg Address, he was committed to making sure "...that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." I suppose you can argue that Lincoln's vision of freedom was not worth the price, but you cannot deny that he had a vision of freedom--and that, for him, this vision was compatible with maintaining the historic, unprecedented political freedom that was achieved in 1776.
