People liked Lincoln and voted for the friendly, homespun boy that could entertain with his stories. People were impressed with his reasoning and logic during his campaign for president.
But, at the time he was president the answer would be 'NO'. Abraham Lincoln was the most hated man in the world. The Pope, the French, and the English hated him. Most of the people in the southern half of the nation hated him. In the North, people were afraid to disagree with his polices because they would be thrown in jail as a dissident. He was not popular in the North or the South.
Things began to change when the North started winning the war. After the Civil War, people looked at him as the person that kept the country united. When he was assassinated, those that hated him felt guilty and began to look upon him as a hero. After his death, people reexamined his words and speeches and found great ideas and humanity.
