The correct response is:
He wanted to jail people who opposed his policies.
Abraham Lincoln suspended the right of habeas corpus during the Civil War in part to deal with the Copperheads, a faction of Northern Democrats who were opposed to the war and Lincoln's policies, as he viewed their actions as a threat to the Union's war effort. This allowed for the detention of individuals without trial who were seen as undermining the government.
