Nah, John Brown would end up growing a giant beard the older and more radicalized he got. Plus, Lincoln wasn't as radical as he's currently made out to be by disgruntled southerners. He was kinda pushed into emancipation by the south, he originally just wanted to halt the expansion of slavery not force the end of the practice.

Yep. He only pushed to end it once politically convenient in securing support from other countries.
