Best Answer

Abraham Lincoln was President of the United States. When some southern states decided to secede, they elected their own "president" Jefferson Davis. Lincoln remained President of the United States - all the United States - he just wasn't recognized as such by the southern states that seceded. He was not "President of the North".
