Holy crap, stainless, you've done it. You've found the smoking gun. I guess I have no choice but to admit that Abraham Linclon supported colonization.
Pardon the sarcasm, stainless, but what you posted no secret. Lincoln supported colonization, as did Robert Lee, John Breckenridge, and a whole host of people, North and South. Lincoln is on record dozens of times supporting colonization. There is nothing wrong or nefarious about that. But as I mentioned on more than one occasion, the original claim was that President Lincoln wanted all blacks removed, I assume forcibly if necessary. That was never Lincoln's position.
And while we're at it I will also freely agree that Jefferson Davis and the overwhelming majority of southern leaders did not support colonization for the most part. They preferred blacks right were they were, as property. It should be noted, however, that in the 1850's Mississippi did seriously debate a law that would forcibly deport all free blacks to Africa, and bill the county that they were caught in for passage. Fortunately the plan wasn't passed.
That was exactly the point. Many of the "Lincoln-worship" crowd deny his support of colonization. Read the excuses offered up by your counterparts. An objective review of his policies and speeches leads to an inevitable conclusion, of you which you recognize.
I am less well researched about Davis' position on the subject. Perhaps the bottom-line is both men held similar views.
