Gates is offended Lincoln offered paid passage to Liberia or South America.

To him, it’s all about getting rid of blacks.

When I read this story, years ago and with Gates commentary, I understood Lincoln to be offering an array of options they might consider and it would cost them little out of pocket.

Gates colors outside the lines and divorced from reality, once again, as he continues his synthetic grievances.

Yes, and the original capitol of Monrovia was named after President James Monroe.
