No . Lincoln was never subject to a military draft and surely did not pay to avoid one. He did volunteer to fight in the Blackhawk War but his unit did not see any action.

A dubious feature of the draft was that a man could pay $300 and avoid it. The rioters said that slaves sold for $1000 plus , but they were only worth $300.
