Duh. That’s why its Monrovia, not Lincolnia. My point is that one need not be consumed with hatred against blacks to have thought that reverse colonization was a good idea.
“Duh. That’s why its Monrovia, not Lincolnia. “
Right. And therefore there is no obvious connection between Lincoln and Liberia.
Many people are surprised when they learn that Lincoln supported removing American blacks to Africa and Central America, since Lincoln gets presented as if he were some sort of early Martin Luther King dreaming of a race neutral utopia. He was an opponent of slavery. His ideas on the races getting along together was another matter.
