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.

Mary Todd, Lincoln's wife, was from a large, well-to-do family in Kentucky. The Todds were a very influential family in Kentucky, often hosting dances and feasts. They were well acquainted with several famous politicians, including Lincoln's idol Henry Clay. Mary Todd was one of the most popular of the bunch, even courted by Stephen A. Douglas, who would go on to run against her future husband for the Senate (and win) and for the presidency (and lose). Lincoln even once joked about the family: "One 'd' is good enough for God, but the Todds need two." Lincoln's eldest son, Robert, who was also the only of Lincoln's children to survive to adulthood, was a successful politician in his own right. Although today his probably overshadowed by his father, Robert became a successful lawyer and politician. He served as an ambassador to the United Kingdom under President Benjamin Harrison, and as Secretary of War under Presidents James Garfield and Chester Arthur. Robert also served as a Captain in the Civil War.
