Why did not Abraham Lincoln go along with everybody else and their opinion?

No person fit to be President, as Lincoln was, always goes along with everybody else. He was intelligent, well-read, and had to think about how to articulate his views for his debates with Douglas and his other speeches. However, he was also a shrewd politician- he was not always against public opinion and when he was, he was careful about his actions and what he said.
