Why lincoln links victory in the civil war to preserving “government of the people, by the people, and for the people”?

Explanation:

Like many human-rights appeals, it sounded good but did not actually mean much. ("Government by the people"??)

He was really talking about freeing the slaves and extending the vote.

The main cause of the Civil War was the issue of slavery. The Union had an abolitionist position, whereas the Confederacy stood for the remanence of Slavery. 

In the end, the Union resulted victorious in 1865 and President Lincoln abolished slavery, stating that that was the starting point for the country in which al human beings would be considered as equals. 

social contract theory basically says that all individuals are born equal, and provided a god given right to consent to be governed. american government is based of this

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people. 

there are basically 3 goals of the government: 1) maintain order by protecting life and property. 2) providing public goods, those which are typically not provided by the public sector, such as roads and education. 3) promote equality be it political, opportunist or outcome equality.
