Best Answer

The positive affects of the Gettysburg Address is that it gave the Civil War a more noble cause. The fight against secession was not overwhelmingly embraced, because many in the north believed the south had the right to do so, although they did believe the union should stay together. Slavery not only motivated many northerners, but it also meant no European power would support the Confederates. They didn't want to be known as supporters of slavery. The negative affect is that it created even more resentment against blacks and slaves by the southerners. For instance, black soldiers fighting in the Union army, were not permitted to be taken as prisoners of war, they were to be immediately killed when captured.
