I believe Abraham Lincoln was a federalist. He was against slavery and most people against slavery were feds. (Federalists were for the const't.) I believe Lincoln was born in the North were most feds. were b/c they did not have slaves. Like in the South were most anti feds were slaves and they wanted to count slaves as citizens ( see the Virginia plan and New Jersay plan were we then came up with the great compromise.)
Wrong. Lincoln was not a federalist-he was a nationalist or centralist. Federalism means the states make the federal government, not the other way around. Abraham Lincoln was the absolute opposite of a federalist, he began the movement that slowly began taking away states' rights and made the federal government stronger.
