Republicanism was the peoples' love for their country and government. It shaped the United States because the people of the country were all invested in how the country was governed.

The Republicans
During and after the US Civil War, the Republican Party became the dominant party of the United States. It was, however, a divided party. Lincoln had to balance the Radical Republicans, with more moderate Republicans and the War Democrats.

No but all racists are republicans
The challenge facing the United States after the US Civil War was awesome. The political problems of reconstructing the Union were based on radical Republicans who wanted to place all blame for the Civil War on the South. This was very political as the radical Republicans wanted to make the rebellious South "pay" for this horrible war that devastated the nation.
The democrats. Look at the previous american history. If you see what president it is and what party they are in, that's your answer. Republicans may like war but, we aren't that consumed with it.
Following the US Civil War, the radical wing of the Republican Party retained the control over the US Congress they had when the war began. After the war, the Democrats and moderate Republicans were not united in any meaningful fashion. This left the radicals to put forth their own agenda concerning Reconstruction Era policies in the South.

By December of 1861, Radical Republicans and even some Democrats were dissatisfied with the way the US Civil War was being conducted. That month the US Congress created the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War.
In the 113th congress, there are 232 Republicans in the House of Representatives.
No. Most northerners and republicans were against such war, as it was viewed as an attempt by Manifest Destiny believers and slave interests to increase slave territory.
