Except that I'm not wrong. Lincoln NEVER contemplated the idea of enforced emigration (deportation). If in the highly unlikly event that you should find evidence to the contrary please present it. I seriously doubt that you in your pathetic, misguided life will ever get it however.

No evidence! There’s a whole book on the EVIDENCE. LOL! Putting your hands over your ears and going “neenerneenerneener” does NOT make this evidence false.

So, I guess until you can proved that the documents discovered in the UK NATIONAL ARCHIVES are fake, I’m right and your are a fool.

But we already knew that.


However, according to evidence from the British legation in Washington that has turned up at the National Archives in Kew, the president was deadly serious about black colonisation right up until his assassination in 1865.

Mr Magness and Mr Page say that just after Lincoln announced the freedom of three quarters of America’s four million slaves with his historic 1863 Emancipation Proclamation, he authorised plans to set up freedmen’s settlements in what is now Belize and Guyana.

And even as black soldiers were dying for the Union cause and a mission to send 453 freed slaves to colonise a pest-ridden island off Haiti met with a disastrous small pox outbreak, Mr Lincoln was secretly authorising British officials to recruit what could have been hundreds of thousands of blacks for a new life on the sugar and cotton plantations of Central America.
