Lincoln's actions were done primarily on the basis of what was best for the nation or the common good. Atticus' actions were made primarily based on what he personally believed. Decisions made for the benefit of individuals and decisions made for the benefit of the common good are interconnected and can influence each other in many ways. Sometimes we need to put the greater good before individual decisions, as in the case of Lincoln, and other times it makes sense for individual decisions to come before the greater good, as in the case of Atticus. Elected president of the United States, it is true that Abraham Lincoln has the power to implement actions based on his personal morality, but his priority is to govern the United States well. As a lawyer, Atticus has the freedom to accept or decline the case offered to him, but due to his predominant personal morality, Atticus's aspiration is to defend a black man just as well as he would defend a white man.
