NO! Absolutely not.
because Abraham Lincoln was elected as president in 1860 and didn't believe in the expansion of slavery, which the south depended on as their economic livelihood, the south seceeded from the northern free states and created the Confederacy. The south elected Jefferson Davis as the president of the Confederacy, and they went to war with the Northern states, called Union in the American Civil War, which Abraham Lincoln led in the war.
