Um...um...No. First, Lincoln was the one who had the idea of giving slaves freedom. He did the grunt work and the majority of the work that led to the abolishing of slavery in America.Many people like Frederick Douglass promoted the abolishing of slavery, but he didnt have any power to do so, but Lincoln had power to change the laws and gave a voice to other abolistionist during that time period. Johnson did nothing to expand the freedom of slaves by doing a terrible job on the Reconstruction and allowing the South to go back their old ways and create the Jim Crow laws that still made blacks unacceptable in the society until more than a century later a King came and brought America to the Promise Land that Lincoln almost did but died.
