Yes, very much. He railed against the Mexican-American war, for instance, because he believed the true motive for the war was to gain territory into which the South could spread slavery. However, after the Mexican War, he quit the army and
went to work to manage his father-in-law's plantation in Missouri which relied on slave labor. Some say that experience is what made the evils of slavery more obvious to him. By the time the civil war began, he had moved North to Illinois.
He was a major hero for the North in the Civil War, and later as president worked to unravel the last vestiges of slavery in the South.
