Yep. That's why he signed the amendment right? That's why he wanted to deport the blacks right? That's why he asked Gen. Butler in Apr 1865 about having the blacks rewarded for the service by sending them to Panama, right? Some sense of justice.

That was before black soldiers fought and died for the life of this country.

No proof.
Some sense of justice.
"It will have then been proved that, among free men, there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet; and that they who take such appeal are sure to lose their case, and pay the cost. And then, there will be some black men, who can remember that, with silent tongue, and clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well-poised bayonet they have helped mankind on to this great consumation; while, I fear, there will be some white ones, unable to forget that, with malignant heart, and deceitful speech, have strove to hinder it.
Still let us not be over-sanguine of a speedy final triumph. Let us be quite sober. Let us dilligently apply the means, never doubting that a just God, in his own good time, will give us the rightful result."
A. Lincoln, 8/24/63
