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.

Why did the proclamation not free very many slaves in the south?

The Emancipation Proclamation technically freed all slaves in the "south" (the rebellious states). The impact of this was reduced by the fact that the rebellious states didn't recognize the authority of the US federal government... that's kind of what "rebellious" meant, in fact. The only immediate impact, really, was on those slaves that were then or later fell into the hands of the Union army. Before the proclamation, slaves had been treated as enemy contraband; afterward, they were just freed.
