He was for the Union, which is to say that he was for the North. As he was president, he would generally support his country. It's worth noting, though, that he didn't feel that the South was truly separated from the Union, but rather felt that they were in a state of rebellion.
Radical Republicans generally wanted a strict Reconstruction policy for the South, including the enforcement of civil rights for freed slaves and punishment for Confederate leaders.
