On the Fact that Lincoln's Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation (Written In the Autumn of 1862) Contained the Following -

"it is my purpose......to again recommend......that the effort to colonize (i.e., deport) persons of African descent with their consent upon this continent or elsewhere......will be continued."........................Thankfully Mr. Lincoln had enough cabinet members who were sober enough to talk him out of including this but it apparently wasn't easy as colonization was one of Mr. Lincoln's major objectives right up til death (Mr. Lincoln clearly wishing to never live amongst black folks). Talk about one's legacy dodging a bullet. Whoa, huh?
