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.
A lot of talk and chatter these last 6 months. Things are about to get hot.
