Abraham Lincoln was much loved in the North. The North was mostly anti-slavery, and Lincoln was very much for that. That is why he won by a slim majority.

haha, no not evwn.

Abraham was from the south, not north.

whoooooever said that, is dumb

---nobody said he was from the north... they said he was very much for antislavery... reread the answer?

Actually, Lincoln represented neither; he represented the Republican party. He was thought to be an abolitionist but was more for stopping the spread of slavery into other states rather that abolishing it completely.

Diffrent people have diffrent prespectives of people but in my view i think he is one of the best presidents and one of the most important persons in our history. he had many hard decsions to make and if he did not choose the right ones are country could be split and be very diffrent. He is a very kind and helping person to us. I view him as a great person and it is very sad that he was shot. -CEK

Most people though Abraham Lincoln was a good man and a good president.He became one of the most well respected and beloved leaders in the history of America.

Since he won with only 40% of the popular vote, 60 % of the people did not vote for him. The other three candidates in the 1860 presidential elections garnered the other 60% of the popular vote.

Opinions about Lincoln as president varied widely. He was viewed as everything from warmonger, power-mad, and hateful all the way up to something near sainthood. He was extremely unpopular in the southern and border states; all of those states went to John Bell or Stephen Douglas in the election of 1860, and negative feelings toward Lincoln only increased after the election. He was quite popular in the Great Lakes region and won all of the northern states in the election. During the war, feelings toward Lincoln changed as events in the war developed. Until summer of 1863 (and the victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg), most thought him ineffective, meddling, and foolish. By the fall of 1864, with a series of important advances in the war, his popularity again increased and he was re-elected. There were still many people throughout the north who despised Lincoln right up until his death.
