America’s Poison Pill. We totally &#%&^#ed up in 1853 when Lincoln recklessly released a population of 3,000,000 freed slaves into a total population of about 20,000,000 entrepreneurial, adventurous, freedom loving, patriotic American citizens and just expected the slaves to take to America as a duck to water. How was that supposed to work??? The original Americans had all come to America to seek their fortunes in different ways. (I think it was Lincoln’s plan to return the slaves to Africa if he hadn’t been assassinated. Can you imagine the pain that would have saved us???)
Here’s from Wikipedia, for what it’s worth:
“The United States Census of 1850 was the seventh census of the United States. Conducted by the Census Office on June 1, 1850, it determined the resident population of the United States to be 23,191,876—an increase of 35.9 percent over the 17,069,453 persons enumerated during the 1840 Census. The total population included 3,204,313 slaves.”
In 1853 Lincoln was a back country lawyer in Springfield Il.
How did he release 3 million slaves?
Yeah, I don't think so....because most of them did....until the RATs started lying to them.
Most, if not all, black politicians were Republicans until about 1935.
