No. It would have alienated many influential slave-owners, and driven those states into the arms of the Confederacy.
The South believed that US President Lincoln was attempting to start a slave revolt in the South which would have been damaging and cost many lives both slave and Southern lives. Lincoln was not trying to do that however. His goal was to allow slaves freed when Union troops invading slave states in the Confederacy to migrate North and also to serve in the Union military. ( this was later on )In the North four states were slave states. These were Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware. Slave owners in these states were uncomfortable with Lincoln's proclamation and slaves in these border states were surely confused.

Pretty much all of the north states voted for him, but the south almost 100% voted for the other candidate. The north had a higher population so Lincoln won.
In 1860 Lincoln was elected as the 16th President of the United States winning 40% of the popular vote. Lincoln was very upset when he learned that he received only 6 votes in the county of his birth, Hardin County, Kentucky. It seems that some scandal-mongers were casting doubt about Lincoln's parentage, saying Nancy Lincoln was a prostitute and gave birth to Abraham by another man.
