One of Abraham Lincoln's main goals, before, during and after the Civil War, was the preservation of the Union. 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:
- Keeping the Union intact will help us maintain a strong national identity, as opposed to a state one.
- By remaining unified, we will be able to benefit from the crops of the South, as well as the industry of the North.
- By preserving the Union, we will be able to enjoy a more diverse and multicultural country, with many different perspectives.
- If the Union remains unified, our Armed Forces will be more numerous and stronger.
- By trying to preserve the Union, we will most likely be able to avoid armed conflict among the different regions of the country.
