Yeah, I got it.

That's how I got pinged back to this thread.

I don't know how concerned Lincoln was with the electoral map, but I have seen quotes from him where he didn't believe the slaves (or former slaves) could live side by side with Americans.

I don't think that makes him a racist, as he was a very religious man and ethical mores of the times were much different than they are today.
