No he was an expansionist who favored the war.
John Quincy Adam opposed the war as a former President.
Abraham Lincoln opposed the war as a future President.
Abraham Lincoln among others.
Yes.
Opposition to the Mexican-American War was mostly among abolitionists, who felt that the war was being fought to expand the area under which slavery could be legal and that the war had no legitimate cause. Notable among those who opposed the war were Abraham Lincoln, who in his only senate term sponsored resolutions asking whether the Mexicans fired on US soldiers on their soil or on US soil (or in the region disputed between Mexico and the US at the time), and Stephen Douglas who called the war the "rape of Mexico."
They were called "Conscience Whigs".
Abraham Lincoln did not fight in the Mexican War, but he was an outspoken opponent of it. He demanded to know the exact "spot" on American soil where American blood had been shed in disputed territory- one of the main excuses for going to war.
Many leaders in England and a few in America opposed any compromise with American colonists. Most of the anger and blame in the colonies was directed at King George III, who was very strongly opposed to any compromise as was the Prime Minister Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford.
The Mexican War of Independence sought autonomy for the North American nation from the Spanish Empire. Mexican independence was gained September the 16th of 1821.
Frederick Douglass
Without a list offered to choose from, this would require some guesswork. If Abraham Lincoln is on the list he opposed the Mexican American War. So did John Quincy Adams. As a general rule all abolitionists would have stood against it. Quakers would oppose it. Frederick Douglass spoke out against it. Catholics opposed it, with the exception of Irish Catholics who were in direct competition with blacks in the job market. Marylanders and Louisiana Catholics were pro slavery and other exceptions also existed.

Yes, Lincoln was against the War with Mexico.
Many Americans, both US and Mexican citizens, opposed the war. These included Abraham Lincoln, John Quincy Adams, and Henry David Thoreau. Some in the North opposed the Mexican-American war because they were against slavery, and saw the war as adding territory to the South, creating more potential slavery states.
