Not for the most part. While he was the president for the union side during the civil war, he temporarily suspended habeas corpus and other "natural rights" listed in the Bill of Rights, in order to keep Maryland from seceding from the union. At the time the Emancipation Proclamation was also cause for an uproar. Most people at that time were thinking about total abolition of slavery. Even a majority of the Northerners only wanted free soil to stay free, and Abe Lincoln was one of such people. The war was originally started to re-unite the union. However, with the North badly losing every battle, Lincoln knew he needed some way to take away the south's advantages. So he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation in hopes to attract slaves away from their masters to fight for the union. Other than this there were really no controversies.
