Best Answer

No, because he was the president and thus, he was the leader of the government. What he went against was certain laws that had been passed by previous congresses. He decided to outlaw slavery; this action, and the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, made him a hero to some people, especially in the north, but a villain to others, especially in the south.
