Suspending Habeas corpus did what?
It stopped the riots that were breaking out as Lincolns troops went through Maryland to get to Washington. Many of the riots were between confederate supporters in Maryland and the Union Soldiers.

Basically it was Lincolns way of staying in control but there was a lot of controversy because technically Lincoln did not have the right to do this, it was only legislative and a judicial power.

When was the habeas corpus created?
Habeas corpus stems from English common law. The very first instance of its use is therefore likely lost to antiquity. Perhaps it would be better to ask when it became an important principle of law. The eminent legal scholar William Blackstone, in his "Commentaries on the Laws of England," attributed the act which secured habeas corpus for the English people to King Charles II. Charles II ruled England from 1660 to 1685, so it would be fair to say that habeas corpus became a true principle of English law during that period.

The part of the US Constitution that restricts Congressional powers in these areas is Article I, Section 9. This section explicitly prohibits Congress from passing ex post facto laws, which would make an action illegal retroactively; bills of attainder, which are laws that target specific individuals for punishment without a trial; and suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which protects individuals from unlawful detention by requiring a court to determine the legitimacy of their arrest or imprisonment.

Lincoln was also motivated by requests by generals to set up military courts to rein in "Copperheads" or Peace Democrats, and those in the Union who supported the Confederate cause.
