He was for the Union, which is to say that he was for the North. As he was president, he would generally support his country. It's worth noting, though, that he didn't feel that the South was truly separated from the Union, but rather felt that they were in a state of rebellion.
they were sad
Well, there were many diffrent Generals during the Civil War. But, if you mean the Leaders Lincoln for Union and Lee for Confederacy. If im not right feel free to correct me!
It is unknown. Perhaps he did live in the White House located in a Confederate State. I feel it remains a mystery waiting to be solved.
Winning the Civil War.
The SOUTH wanted slavery and LINCOLN was against slavery (he was for the NORTH). The CIVIL WAR actually started because of high tariffs... Most people mistake that matter for slavery!
they felt happy because they won the civil war
Most probably felt devastated by the loss of their president.
"Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally." -- Abraham Lincoln
This is how I feel
Some people did not appreciate Abraham Lincoln's choice to end slavery. Most of these people wanted to kill him, resulting in his assassination in 1865. Many historians feel his suspension of the Constitutional right of habeas corpeus during the Civil War was illegal and amoral.
Initially the North Carolinian Unionists supported the Union and argued against secession. However, their arguments depended on Lincoln not attacking the Confederate states. After the battle of Fort Sumter, North Carolina Unionists felt Lincoln had betrayed them by the attack.
