Complete crap, but Lincoln did support voluntary colonization. So what? Monroe supported it. Robert Lee supported it, going do far as to pay passage for some of his former slaves to Liberia. Thomas Jefferson didn't support it; he was a mandatory deportation kind of guy. But I suppose all of them were motivated by a WHITE mecca as well?
So what exactly was wrong with colonization given the times and the beliefs prevalent? What was the alternative? Slavery for life for themselves and their descendants? That was the future preferred by Lee and Davis and Jackson and others but it's kind of hard on the slave. Life as free men and women in the U.S.? Where the Supreme Court ruled that you were not and could never be citizens? And that you had no legal rights a white man was bound to respect? Where you faced virulent racism in the North and even worse racism in the South? Is that the kind of life someone like you would prefer? Or would you want an opportunity to carve out a life for yourself, free from racial oppression and legal restrictions, and able to run your own show as you wished? Be honest now, MJ, if you are even able to. Which life would you prefer? Oppression? Or independence?
His Emancipation Proclamation was simply a war measure, designed to cause riots in the South, to cause blacks to rebel and strike down their “evil” Southern masters.
I read posts like that and I swear to God you must be dumber than a box of rocks. There is no other explanation possible.
“In Saving the Union, I have destroyed the Republic, before me have I the Confederacy which I loathe, but behind me have I the bankers which I fear”. Even in his own words, Lincoln the tyrant admitted he destroyed the voluntary Union of our Forefathers, and instituted an EMPIRE.
Except that Lincoln never said that. It is a figment of Southron imagination which you poached off some Lost Cause website. It's clear that most of your Southern Culture is a myth, supported by lies and fantasy.
Some of you seem to think that being anti-Lincoln = being pro-slavery. The opinions are exclusive. Lincoln destroyed State’s Rights and killed anyone who disagreed with him.
I notice you didn't deny the pro-slavery part, did you?
Which life would you prefer? Oppression? Or independence?

Independence, but not dependent on the government.
You know nothing about the South, NOTHING. You call every black that worked for a white family a slave. Many were paid. Many lived in the house and were considered members of the family. Often kids were as close to some of the blacks than they were their own parents. I never rarely see racism down here but I sure as hell saw plenty of it when I had to spend time in Chicago one winter. It was sheer hell every day I was there. The sun didn’t shine one single time, well maybe for a few minutes. Dirty, no leaves on the trees, disgusting place. They used the N word more in that my short time there than I hear down here in years.
Why are you so obsessed with slavery, something that has been over for so long? Just curious? Your main goal in life is to fight the civil was again. You admitted you came to FR because JR was lenient and would let you go off on Southerners. Is that your life? Sad, really sad.
