Lincoln was of course a FLAMING racist. Hell, he wanted to deport all Blacks and twice got Congress to appropriate funds for the purpose.

No, he didn't. He had plans for voluntary colonization. He discussed them with African-American leaders. They weren't interested. There's no evidence that he advocated forced deportation.

Sending blacks home - when many of them thought of Africa as ‘home’ and had family there - wasn’t racist... I haven’t read about that but from what I know of Lincoln he would NOT have forced blacks to leave, but given them the option of returning home.
