Hi!
The ideas of the enlightenment were exponential to the ideas we have today regarding politics. Great philosophers like John Locke set forth ideas like the invisible hand and the social contract.
Thoughts like these led to the fall of one of the most common forms of government at the time - a monarch. This led to nations changing to form a true system of government, where not one individual has too much power.
The ideas set forth by great thinkers like Locke helped put power in the hands of the people, not one individual at the top. The ideologies developed during this time are still in place today.
People conjured up the idea of splitting the government up into branches, as a way to prevent one person from having all the power. Our government still follows this set of ideas, by being split up into three different branches.
Hopefully, this helps! =)
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]".
The Soviet Union had set up official border stations in which you had to cross to get to the other side. Eventually, they had set it up so they're was only one safe way to get to West Berlin, just one border stations. These border stations were quite strict, as they had people trying all sorts of crazy ways to get to West Berlin.
