Was Abraham Lincoln for the north or the south?

Hard question, because he was the president of the US at the time of the civil war. He sort of supported the north because he did not like slavery and did not want the slavery in the US to spread. But overall he was just trying to help both sides.

Lincoln was President of the United States, which during the war was the North..He wanted to preserve the Union above all else, even if it meant not freeing the slaves..His own Words....
