I don't think Lincoln did.
No US troops were directly deployed, but the US did provide materiel to the French troops in Syria during Règlement Organique, it was part of the reason the French supported the North during the civil war. So lincoln sold bombs that were used in middle east (not bomb bombs but... you know what I mean) even if he wasn't directly bombing them.
