Did President Lincoln live to see the abolition of slavery?
The answers was Yes and No. Technically, the 13th Amendment is what abolished slavery. This occurred 6 months after Lincoln was assassinated. However, when Lincoln did executive orders of the emancipation proclamation years before his death, he set forth in motion something that would only reverse if President Lincoln had lost the war. Fortunately, President Lincoln lived long enough to see the war almost end and therefore knew what was accomplished. Abraham Lincoln died before the war was over. Since the war was almost entirely about the abolition of slavery, in addition to stopping an unconstitutional seceding of some states from the Union, Lincoln did live to see that slavery would be abolished, he just did not live to see the 13th Amendment. I do not believe Lincoln needed to live to see the 13th Amendment pass to know that slavery was over. The US Civil War was not "almost" fought about slavery at all. Northerners did not volunteer to fight and die to end slavery.
