I'm not a student of political science and my interest in the Civil War is primarily strategy and tactics, so I'm taking a stab in the dark here. But I would guess that Lincoln was moved to take the measures that he did because of the very trauma of a civil war itself, which was an unprecedented event in the nation's history to that point. Maybe it required unprecedented actions to win it.
