What effect did Lincoln have with the North and the South after he was elected president?

Lincoln had a large impact on America. Before he was assassinated, he managed to sign the Emancipation Proclamation, which outlawed slavery in the seceded states [the South] during the Civil War. Although segregation would continue, especially in the South, until the 1950's, it was a huge step toward equality.
Lincoln's election, however, also increased tensions between him and the South. The South, predominantly pro-slavery, was angered by his changes against slavery [the Emancipation Proclamation] and that the North was not punished by the proclamation; it led to continued bitterness between the North and South. A Southern radical, John Wilkes Booth, would later assassinate Lincoln.

Hard question, because he was the president of the US at the time of the civil war. He sort of supported the north because he did not like slavery and did not want the slavery in the US to spread. But overall he was just trying to help both sides.
