“Lincoln believed blacks were inferior and should be repatriated to Africa. He suspended basic rights such as freedom of the press, habeus corpus, arrested political opponents, was a horrible blunderer as Commander in Chief, and would be remembered differently had he not been shot.”
There’s a new movie about Lincoln, directed by liberal, Republican-hating Spielberg coming out soon. Maybe he’ll insert these little tidbits.
Lincoln was a man of his times. After a few years of interacting with blacks in the White House, his view changed. Lincoln never wanted the repatriation of blacks to Africa to be anything but voluntary.
