what the heck you get this myth on? alot of black didnt want to leave the plantations. not all of them wanted to pick up and leave them after the war.
What myth? It's all in the historical record. Lincoln and most northerners did not want any blacks migrating north, and he did not want to shut down the cotton plantations. They were important for his corporate welfare agenda and to finance canals, roads, and high tariffs.
