It is just as true that Bill Clinton said he did not have sex with that woman. Of course, in private he said something more like, "Yeah, baby; Yeah, baby; Oh Yeah, baby."
Lincoln's emigration aide, the Rev. James Mitchell, said the Proclamation "did not change Mr. Lincoln's policy of colonization, nor was it so intended." On August 18, 1863, seven months after the signing of the Proclamation and three months before the Gettysburg Address, Mitchell said he asked Lincoln if he "might say that colonization was still the policy of the Administration." Lincoln replied twice, he said, that "I have never thought so much on any subject and arrived at a conclusion so definite as I have in this case, and in after years found myself wrong." Lincoln added that "it would have been much better to separate the races than to have such scenes as those in New York [during the Draft Riots] the other day, where Negroes were hanged to lamp posts."Forced Into Glory, Lerone Bennett, Jr., p. 554

As I'm sure you know, the latter has absolutely no application to the former.
President Lincoln made many statements supporting equal treatment for blacks, that black soldiers were as good as any, that they should have the vote, and that finding permanent homes for them within the country would relieve a great difficuty..
After 12/01/62, he makes no statements whatsoever about colonization.
