Abraham Lincoln's election affected the entire nation. For one, Northerners and abolitionists now had a strong central supporter in Washington. At the same time, however, Southerners felt their rights and freedoms would be taken away by Lincoln and the federal government. This is what lead to the attack on Fort Sumter, secession, and ultimately the war between the states.
A major effect was that the relations between the North and South worsened because Lincoln was all for becoming one nation again with no hard feelings but the other Northerners wanted to force the south to pay for what they did.
Abraham Lincoln freed all slaves living in the US by giving his famous Emancipation Proclamation. Addendum: This statement is not correct. The Emancipation Proclamation only offered freedom to those Southern Slaves able to escape to the North. Slavery was practiced before his Proclamation in the North as well as after and until 6 months after the Civil War.
President Lincoln wrote and issues the Emancipation Proclamation, which was a set of two executive orders. The second portion or second executive order found in the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in those Southern States, which had not returned to the Union by January 1, 1863. So slaves were "technically" freed in the Southern States, still in rebellion from the Union, as of January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation did not address the status of slaves in Missouri, or the border states, thus slavery was still legal in these areas until the 13th Amendment was passed and ratified by 3/4s of all of the states. This occurred on December 6,1865.
