Parts of Illinois and Indiana were, shall we say, restive at various points during the rebellion. And there were anti-draft riots in New York and Wisconsin. Now whether that was due to "despotic behavior" on the part of Lincoln or just because there wasn't a lot of support for them to begin with is open for debate. And uprisings in the North never reached the level that they did in the South where in spite of Richmond's heavy hand whole counties were in open defiance of the Confederate government and where Davis had to threaten to call out the troops to put down the Bread Riots in March and April of 1863.
Rioting is not usually considered an organized partisan resistance war effort.
