US President Lincoln often tried to guide the Union's military forces. He believed that an invasion of Texas would galvanize New England support for the war. If the Union could control Texas its vast supplies of cotton could be shipped to New England's textile mills. Lincoln appointed the governor of Massachusetts, Nathaniel P. Banks to raise an expeditionary force to assault Texas from the Gulf of Mexico. Later Lincoln changed the destination of Bank's forces to southern Mississippi. The reason was for the control of the Mississippi River.
President Lincoln's proposal for reconstruction was called "Lincoln's 10% Plan." It was a plan to reunify the North and South after the War's end.
President Abraham Lincoln supported the Ten Percent Plan for Reconstruction because he wanted to mend ties with the former Confederate states, not punish them further.

All to often US President Lincoln became a bit to far in planning military strategies that he was unqualified for. A good example of this was his plan to stage a campaign in Texas. The project appealed to the radical wing of the Republican Party. This was due to the the cotton in Texas that was needed by Northern textile factories. The plan was based on a water campaign supplemented by ground troops.
The 10% plan.
After the death of President Lincoln, the then Vice-President Andrew Johnson became President. He decided to not follow Lincoln's plan of reconstruction of the South, opting to create his own.
He was important because he was moved up from vice president to president and he continued Lincoln's plan.
