Yeah, I've read them all. But unlike you I've gone further and read Lincoln's speeches and writings on the subject in context. Lincoln was a believer in voluntary colonization, emphasis on the voluntary. No secret there. Colonization plans enjoyed widespread support for decades before the rebellion, and in his support for colonization Lincoln was no different than men like Robert Lee, who paid passage to Liberia for some of his former slaves. But Lincoln was different from men like Lee, who believed that slavery was the best place for blacks and his support for voluntary colonization is a far cry from your claim that Lincoln was for forced deportation. In that you're confusing Lincoln with Jefferson Davis.
