Simply the Age of Enlightenment inspired the American Revolution that sparked the creation of the American Government.

European politics, philosophy, science and communications were radically reoriented during the course of the “long 18th century” (1685-1815) as part of a movement referred to by its participants as the Age of Reason, or simply the Enlightenment.

Enlightenment philosophers John Locke, Charles Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau all developed theories of government in which some or even all the people would govern. These thinkers had a profound effect on the American and French revolutions and the democratic governments that they produced.

The ideas of the French Enlightenment philosophes strongly influenced the American revolutionaries. French intellectuals met in salons like this one to exchange ideas and define their ideals such as liberty, equality, and justice.

The Confederacy? The interest seems to be the act of slavery and the war Lincoln is talking about must be the Civil War, which was taking place while Lincoln was addressing his second inaugural. Lincoln was reasoning that the Confederacy was fighting to keep slavery, which is the interest the "insurgents" have. Lincoln also did not want slavery to continue to spread, but he was fine with having slavery, "restrict the territorial enlargement if [slavery]".
