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.

GDR authorities officially referred to the Berlin Wall as the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart (German: Antifaschistischer Schutzwall). The West Berlin city government sometimes referred to it as the "Wall of Shame", a term coined by mayor Willy Brandt in reference to the Wall's restriction on freedom of movement.
He would have faced strong opposition from other political figure heads who were against the expansion of the rights of African Americans, making his Presidency much more challenging that it already was.
