No- Pierce was not an abolitionist. He was not personally in favor of slavery, but considered the right to keep slaves as something that was part of the agreement that states made when they ratified the US Constitution. He agreed with people like John Adams and Benjamin Franklin who did not like slavery but accepted it as a compromise needed to form the union.
