Lincoln advocated having blacks voluntarily move back to Africa, and was shocked that so many blacks refused to.

So did John Breckenridge. So did Robert Lee, who actually paid passage for some of his former slaves to go to Liberia. At the time where was all that wrong?

Lincoln never advocated forcibly deporting blacks from the U.S. That was Thomas Jefferson.

I am not familiar with Thomas Jefferson demanding the removal of all blacks from the United States. I doubt it is true, but will give you the benefit of the doubt:

Please supply a source for this supposed fact.

Thank you very much.
