I realize that this conflicted with the preference of Lee and Davis and Jackson that the blacks remain as property, but just out of curiosity what was so evil about Lincoln's support of voluntary emigration? A lot of people supported it - Madison, Monroe, Breckenridge. Thanks to a Southern dominated Supreme Court, blacks were not and could never be citizens. In most Southern states they were forbidden to get an education or work in many occupations. So what was so wrong about giving them a chance to return to Africa - if they wanted to - and build a life free from the repression and racism that was rampant throughout the United States? Or are you serious in your belief that a life in bondage in the U.S. was better than a life of freedom in Africa?
So, Non-Squirter, then are you advocating removing blacks from the United States like your hero Abe?
