"Arrest without warrant, detention without trial, release without punishment."
"Congress,the courts, free elections, moderate freedom of speech, press, and assembly were in tact. No dictator would have torlerate such fierce opposition in Congress and such bitter criticism in the newspaper."
"No undue advantage was taken of the emergency to force arbitrary rule upon the country or to promote personal ends."
"The lack of serious literature regarding Lincoln's records on civil liberties suggest that historians have been more or less embarrassed by linocln's record on the constitution."
"The union survived the Civil War, the Constitution did not."

Which one agrees that it was the right thing to do at the time? And could you explain a little? I'm lost. Thanks!
