Interesting when you read the third or fourth column. It states that, without the “rebels” in Congress, Congress would easily pass a bill confiscating Southern slaves.....HOWEVER, this law would not pass unless a COLONIZATION PLAN was passed. In other words, Lincoln and Republicans wanted African slaves out of the country, and certainly not to migrate north.

How can this be? Everyone is taught that the war was fought to free the slaves.
