No, not really. Mary Todd Lincoln grew up in a time when many people in the south and mid-west accepted slavery, and even had household slaves. But there is no evidence that she "liked" the practice; she probably did not speak out about it because as a child, she saw it as the norm. But that changed as she got older. In fact, Mary's grandmother seems to have been very opposed to slavery and there are some stories that she helped slaves to escape. Whether those stories are true or not, Mary was very much influenced by her grandmother, and that may be one reason she decided to be an opponent of slavery.

Thomas "Tad" Lincoln. (April 4, 1853 - July 15, 1871) He was named for Lincoln's father, Thomas Lincoln, but upon his birth, Abraham remarked that the baby's unusually large head made him appear like a "tadpole." The name stuck, and Thomas was called "Tad" or "Taddie" for the rest of his life.
His so Todd..i think that cause i was watching a Civil War video and it said that his son Todd or something like that.

Of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln's four sons, only one lived to maturity. Robert Todd Lincoln (1843 - 1926) married Mary Harlan (1847 - 1937) in 1868. They had three children, Jessie, Abraham, and Mary. Abraham ("Jack") Lincoln died in 1890 at the age of 17. Mary (1869 - 1938) became the wife of Charles Bradley Isham in 1891. Their son, Lincoln Isham, born in 1892, died in Dorset, Vermont, in 1971. His marriage to Leahalma Correa was childless. Jessie (1875 - 1948) eloped with a college football player and sportsman from Mount Pleasant, Iowa, Warren Wallace Beckwith, in 1897. They had two children, Mary Lincoln Beckwith and Robert Lincoln Beckwith, before their divorce in 1907. Jessie lived with her parents until she remarried in 1915; her second husband was an explorer and geographer named Frank Edward Johnson. The marriage was childless and ended in divorce in 1925. The next year she married Robert J. Randolph, by whom she had no children. Mary Lincoln Beckwith (1898 - 1975), Abraham Lincoln's great-granddaughter, never married. Her brother Robert Lincoln Beckwith (b. 1904 ), twice married (to Mrs. Hazel Holland Wilson and Annemarie Hoffman), but had no children either. Like most Lincoln descendents before him, he was wealthy, led a quiet life and avoided the public gaze. He died in 1984. He was the last direct descendent of Abraham Lincoln.

No. Despite the fact that her family in Kentucky owned slaves and claims that she was a secret secessionist with Southern sympathies, Mary Todd Lincoln did not like slavery. In fact, she was much more steadfast in her abhorrence of slavery than her husband.
Mary Lincoln was intelligent, witty, vivacious and cultured, but she also was spoiled, petulant, selfish nervous and excitable.
Mary Lincoln was interested in politics and social standing. She loved to shop for clothes and home furnishings and wanted the latest fashion. She did not like to think about budgeting money.

November 4,1842:Lincoln got married to Mary Todd on that day.They then bought a nice cottage in Springfield,Illinois.
The whole country was shocked that someone would assassinate a great leader like Lincoln. If you're looking for anindividual person, then probably Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd Lincoln.
No, Mary Todd Lincoln was pro-slavery. She did not like living in a free state and dreamed of the day she would return to a slave state.

No school like the old school
Lincoln fought to free the slaves from the south, places like Georgia, Florida etc. as opposed to the people in the north who did not use slavery.
Movies had not been invented in Mary Todd Lincoln's day, but she did enjoy theater (live performances of plays were very popular). It is not clear how she would feel about movies, but we do know she was a very educated woman for her time and had several female friends who were also educated. If she saw a movie, perhaps she would like one with a female hero who does important things to make the world better-- maybe a Superwoman movie or some other film that features a female character who triumphs over evil.
