Lincoln had to deal with not only the challenge of the South seceeding from the United States, but also the challenge of raising an army from Northern States who didn't want to get into a war.
Federalists supported a strong central government. They wanted to give a lot of power to the national government and not a lot of power to the states.

The goal was to help Europe rebuild and recover after the war.
