No. He was from Illinois, a northern Democrat. Because he was from the north, the Democratic Party split in 1860. The northern faction nominated Douglas to run against Lincoln. The southern faction would not accept Douglas, and held their own convention and nominated the sitting Vice President, John C. Breckenridge. A third faction formed the Constitutional Union Party and nominated John Bell. With those three dividing the Democratic vote, Lincoln won the election with only 40% of the popular vote, and carried not a single southern state.
