In light of Ferguson, Baltimore et al. and the never sated demands of "protected" classes, the historical debate seems all the more topical.
"The newly released documents underscore just how hot a topic colonization was in the 1800s, when prominent statesmen debated whether blacks and whites could ever live together in a functioning society."

Sure would have avoided a lot of the problems we have today, and not put the country so deep in debt supporting generations of gibsmedats......

I would gladly pay for one mother, all her baby daddies and their kids.
America is such a hell-hole anyway, right.

Which is exactly why he was assassinated.

There is a large segment of the black population who refuse to abide by laws written and enacted by whites, AND THIS INCLUDES ODUMBO, LYNCH, ETC.. The cops are damned if they enforce the law, and damned if they DON'T enforce the law. The blacks of Baltimore protest either way. How can harmony ever be achieved, given this exercise in futility? IT CAN'T!
Black, white, yellow, purple or green.. Law and order MUST be maintained, and that INCLUDES firing REAL BULLETS at thugs who assault the police with bricks! When we let thugs WIN, THEY WIN AND THE LAW LOSES. Otherwise, WHY DO WE HAVE POLICE OR THE NATIONAL GUARD? THEY LOOK LIKE FOOLS OUT THERE.

I hear you! They can’t seem to restrain themsleves from living and acting like savages, so returning them to their natural habitat is a humane act.

Head off your racial problem and get a little revenge against Her Majesty in the bargain...

IIRC, Monrovia was started for the same purpose back when Monroe was President.

Which is exactly why he was assassinated. He was assassinated because he was regarded as a tyrant by the man who assassinated him.

Not historical news, I certainly knew about this. I know at least one study said Lincoln toyed with this idea but it was never realistic. Just grappling with a solution, and perhaps mollifying those who thought all these freed slaves would be a huge burden.

A lot of immigrants in the north were worried about losing their jobs to the freed slaves.

No, no it wasn’t.
