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.

Was there slavery in 1919?
Yes and no. If you are asking about the USA, the answer is no. Slavery had been outlawed since President Lincoln freed the slaves in Civil War times (the early 1860s). So, in 1919, there was no slavery in America. But sadly, thanks to segregation, many black people continued to live in indentured servitude or dire poverty in certain parts of the United States. In fact, it was progressive Democrat President Woodrow Wilson who brought Jim Crow to the North by segregating the federal work force in 1913. Like progressives of today, President Wilson lamented that the Constitution, with it's claim of equality for all, was flawed and out of date. "It is of no consequence to us." Meanwhile, in a few other countries, especially in parts of Africa, slavery still existed in 1919 and continues to exist in those countries even today.

What did Lincoln believe in the black people?
US President Abraham Lincoln had firm, deep seated thoughts about Blacks and slavery. History reveals however, that as his career moved along, some of his ideas are subject to speculation. One of his ideas, however, are clear. He believed slavery was immoral and Black slaves were not property. Now, for a time it was also clear that he did not believe that former slaves could live a full life in the USA because of racism. His solution to that was to support efforts to have freed Blacks to volunteer for deportation to a government created colony. Whether in Africa or somewhere in South American. Based on his debates with Stephan Douglas in 1858, he stated that he did not believe that Blacks had the intelligence to vote, serve on juries or hold official offices. His later views when he was president seemed to change. It would be a sound view that he would, at some point come to the belief that Blacks should have every right that white citizens had.

What was Abraham Lincoln's view of slavery before the civil war?
Lincoln didn't believe in slavery, but was enough of a realist to allow that the southern states should be able to keep their slaves - for mostly economic reasons. He didn't want to see slavery extended to other states or - and this is the subject of the famous "Lincoln-Douglas" debates - to the recently and soon to be settled western states. Of the civil war, Lincoln once said that if he could hold the union together without abolishing slavery, he would do so. Lincoln did believe in slavery but knew it had to end in order to undivide the country and for the sake of the USA Lincoln did not support slavery. He believe the world should come in peace. He thought that slavery was much like killing a person. Lincoln was a slave owner and wanted to send them to central america because he did not believe whites a blacks should live together.
