Trick question? Lincoln didn't try either Lee or Davis for treason. No one was convicted of the crime but certainly could have been had Lincoln decided to do so. When Grant left for Appomattox Lincoln instructed him to ''Let them up easy''. Lincoln wanted to ‘’bind up the nations wounds’’ and to quite plainly get the nation back together.

It could be the fact that he was dead had something to do with it.
