Dummy it is called a contingency plan.....Believe it or not they still make stupid shit like that up.... It is sad you think you are conservative with you lack of actual historical knowledge.That is not the point silly senior dude.
The point is, which sadly I must spell it out for you due to you lack of...something, Lincoln considered deporting all blacks and hoped to get it accomplished in his second term. It was not practical, but it should tell you something about your beloved Dishonest Abe, but you being you, I have no hope.
Actually, the country of Liberia was formed for free slaves
Lincoln understood what bunch of racist assholes existed in the south and doubted if blacks could ever be "free" there. As it is, Lincoln was right and it took force 100 years later to finally give blacks freedom in the south
ROFL! So Lincoln's plan to send them back to Africa was to protect them from American racists? I've got news for you, bub, Lincoln was a white supremacist:
“I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races—that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this, that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”
Abraham Lincoln, Charlston IL, 1858
I just quoted a speech that shows Lincoln is a white supremacist, and you call that a "contingency plan?" It's pathetic that all you dim bulbs think you know something about Lincoln and the Civil War. You're a bunch of dumbasses.
True. Lincoln wasn't an abolitionist. He did not support blacks having equal rights to whites and he wanted to send blacks back to Africa to be rid of them. But hey, it stands in the way of the liberal narrative
Lincoln was not an abolitionist before the war- though the South was convinced he was. But Lincoln was always opposed to slavery- preserving the Union however was more important to him than abolition.
Of course before the end of the war, Lincoln was an abolitionist- attempting to get the remaining slave holding territory within the Union to voluntarily change their laws, and forcing abolition on the States still in rebellion, paving the way to outlawing of slavery throughout the United States.
