And that's also a lie.
One letter does not an interpretation make. Lincoln made no public pronouncements supporting colonization after 12/01/62. That's the bottom line.
He -did- privately and publicly support voting rights for black soldiers.
At least you are not pushing the deportation card any more. I suppose that is progress of a sort.

Yet it does demonstrate a fact.
Lincoln made no public pronouncements supporting colonization after 12/01/62.
Irrelevant. He made private statements supporting it and took actions in his official capacity to support it.
He -did- privately and publicly support voting rights for black soldiers.
And that's a different issue entirely. Besides, who wouldn't want to make voters out of people that were virtually guaranteed to vote for you? Your Democrat buddies try to do the exact same thing today with the mexicans who sneak across our border.
At least you are not pushing the deportation card any more.
Colonization, deportation - Lincoln used both terms to describe it.
