Well if you want to go back into history, then it is Lincoln’s fault. Or Booth’s, take your pick. He eliminated Lincoln before he could get on with repatriation. At any rate surely it is all because of the Pubs. (Bush’s fault)
What Ole Abe wanted to do(had he lived) was to ship ALL of the Freed Slaves back to Africa. Ols Abe wasn’t NEAR the “friend” of slaves as Revisionist Historians have painted him out to be.
