Mary Todd Lincoln did not directly help end slavery, but she was an influential figure during her husband Abraham Lincoln's presidency, which was marked by the Civil War and the eventual passage of the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery. She supported her husband in his efforts and was known to hold progressive views on the issue. Additionally, her social connections and advocacy for various causes may have contributed to the broader movement against slavery. However, her role was more as a supportive partner rather than a direct activist.
