Abraham Lincoln uncensored

[Weatherman2020]

Abraham Lincoln has been given a lot of credit because he signed the emancipation proclamation. But in reality he was forced to do so because blacks refused to be resettled in a colony in the Central American jungle.

"In his book The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery, historian Eric Foner writes that by 1862, Lincoln, as well as politically moderate members of Congress, saw colonization as at least a piece of the policy puzzle. "Both the law providing for abolition in the District of Columbia and the Second Confiscation Act included provisions for the colonization of those willing to emigrate. During 1862, Congress appropriated a total of $600,000 to aid in the transportation overseas of African-Americans," Foner wrote. Policy entrepreneurs of varying trustworthiness offered colonization proposals in such far-flung locales as Brazil, Colombia, and the Caribbean island of St. Croix.

But most black Americans weren’t buying. Seeking their support, Lincoln met with a black delegation at the White House on Aug. 14, 1862, and made the case for colonization. It was widely considered a failure. Lincoln offended his visitors, and others who read the after-the-fact newspaper coverage, by saying such things as, "It is better for us both, therefore, to be separated" and that for blacks to refuse to colonize elsewhere would be "extremely selfish."

Did Abraham Lincoln plan to send ex-slaves to Central America after the Civil War?

Abraham Lincoln 'wanted to deport slaves' to new colonies

Here are some words from the republican Abe Lincoln:

“You and we are different races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong I need not discuss, but this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both, as I think your race suffer very greatly, many of them by living among us, while ours suffer from your presence. In a word we suffer on each side. If this is admitted, it affords a reason at least why we should be separated.”

This is the Abraham Lincoln they didn’t tell you about in school.

As the free black leaders soon discovered, Lincoln’s invitation to discuss policy was a pretext for a one-sided sales pitch.

“I do not propose to discuss this, but to present it as a fact with which we have to deal,” Lincoln continued. “I cannot alter it if I would. It is a fact, about which we all think and feel alike, I and you.”

Lincoln continued to unload on the delegates, even blaming their people for the Civil War at his doorstep: “See our present condition—the country engaged in war!—our white men cutting one another’s throats, none knowing how far it will extend; and then consider what we know to be the truth. But for your race among us there could not be war, although many men engaged on either side do not care for you one way or the other. Nevertheless, I repeat, without the institution of Slavery and the colored race as a basis, the war could not have an existence.”

Slavery was a law made legal by whites and yet Lincoln blames blacks for the civil war.

This brought the president back to colonization, and his purpose for inviting the delegates to the White House in the first place—to get them to accept his trial balloon.

“I suppose one of the principal difficulties in the way of colonization is that the free colored man cannot see that his comfort would be advanced by it,” Lincoln reasoned. “You may believe you can live in Washington or elsewhere in the United States the remainder of your life [as easily], perhaps more so than you can in any foreign country, and hence you may come to the conclusion that you have nothing to do with the idea of going to a foreign country. This is (I speak in no unkind sense) an extremely selfish view of the case.”

Then he pivoted: “But you ought to do something to help those who are not so fortunate as yourselves.”

In Lincoln’s mind, if these free leaders stepped forward to lead the emigration of black people out of the United States, that would make it easier for white slaveholders to free the rest.

He explained: “If you could give a start to white people, you would open a wide door for many to be made free. If we deal with those who are not free at the beginning, and whose intellects are clouded by Slavery, we have very poor materials to start with. If intelligent colored men, such as are before me, would move in this matter, much might be accomplished. It is exceedingly important that we have men at the beginning capable of thinking as white men, and not those who have been systematically oppressed.”

Nothing like flattering some of the race by insulting the rest!

“There is much to encourage you,” Lincoln continued pitching. “For the sake of your race you should sacrifice something of your present comfort for the purpose of being as grand in that respect as the white people.”

This is part of republican history they don't want to tell blacks as they try to herd dumb blacks into republican slave quarters.

You are one special dumbass. Lincoln knee Democrats would treat blacks as subhumans so offered blacks a choice to escape what Democrats would do to them for the next 160 years.

Why is it you racist fucks keep repeating this shit?

Truth is like sunshine to you Vampire fascist racists.

There is no doubt Dishonest Abe was our worst president and a traitor for mass murdering fellow Americans. He should have been hung in 1861.

At any rate, your attack on the R Party for Dishonest Abe’s heinous actions is hypocrisy of the highest order. You ignorantly support the DParty which is the party of slavery, segregation, and the Confederacy.

Come on IQ2 stop with your racist hatred of whites. It just makes you even more dumb.

What we see here is the truth about the republican party. They were about shipping blacks out of the country.

Face the truth gimpy.

It was an option.
Abraham Lincoln was the Commander in Chief and the President of the United States whose army defeated the rebel South and terminated slavery in the United States. He began the arduous task of reconstruction, trying to bring the South back IN to the Union rather than punish it. Then he was assassinated by a sore loser.
Being black, I would think you'd be a little bit glad that Abraham Lincoln did what he did.

That said, his words were interesting and enlightening--he was not a saint but a human who was frustrated and heartbroken at the waste of lives that was happening in the war. Not a pretty view of our President but at least in the end, he did the right thing.

IM2 is judging human beings that lived over a century ago by ethical standards and mores of today.

It is a silly discussion to entertain to begin with. It is nothing but an attempt to generate hate for ones enemies. At the same time Lincoln was writing this, the Democrats were busy creating the KKK.

What of it?



Its akin to saying; because monkeys throw shit, and monkeys are a primates, and we are a primates, well. . . .

You do the the math. . .

You forgot to add the D Party would have happily done the same.

WTF is wrong with you IQ2?

I didn't add the D party because Lincoln is the subject and you republicans want to lie about your history.

So as none of you republicans freed the slaves that you did not own, don't take credit for it. Take credit for what you are now. Anti AA, anti civil rights, pro confederacy, fake claims of anti white discrimination, and alt right racism.

I don't like white racists gimpy. So unless you are telling me all whites are racist, then you show your ignorance every time your maggot ass starts crying about me being a racist. Because all whites aren't white racists. But you are.

You are one silly racist dude.

I have yet to see a post by you that attacks the D Party. Yet, the D Party IS the historic party of racism, slavery, segregation, etc... However you are very proficient at attacking the R Party. So helpfully you will understand why I find your racist rants against the Rs ignorant. There is little difference between the two parties on this subject.

As you well know, I am not a republican.

Stop living in the past gimpy. Today's republican party is the party of racism. It's been like that since at least 1964. So I am not going to be gaslight into being party of your party. Don't tell me you are not republican while repeating republican rhetoric chump. So are you telling me all whites are racists?

The party blacks have supported for decades has done nothing for them, yet you still support that party. DUMB.

I don’t know R rhetoric so I can’t comment on your stupidity.

Yes but he is only judging Rs, while ignoring the equally heinous actions of Ds of the 1860s. This is a very good example of someone lacking even a low level of intelligence.

This thread is not about slavery so ignore Dales remarks.

Do you truly think nobody sees how you dodge pointed questions? What are you afraid of?

 

[whitehall]

It wasn't just about race or the politically motivated and relatively meaningless "emancipation proclamation". Lincoln was given credit by fawning novelists disguised as historians historians for "preserving the Union" when the Union fell apart under his watch. The E.P. was too little too late. Lincoln either had bad advice or he was having a senior citizen moment when he thought a Civil War would last barely a couple of months. Instead of compromising and cajoling and dealing with the fiery radicals in the South he let it go.

 

[Picaro]

Lincoln had more supporters in the 100 northern pro-war Democrats than he did Republicans in the Senate and House, which is why his private army controlling the ballots in the border states was the only thing keeping him President after the1862 mid-terms. And, he as going to be very lenient on the South after they surrendered as well, which didn't sit well with all the thieves and scum foaming at the mouth to sweep down and plunder the South, robbing whites and blacks alike, then leaving blacks to their fate after the rape. Of course, black people are stupid, and still think Lincoln freed them, when all he did was murder some 700,000 of them, steal their reparations, and left in 5-6 years.

“I do not propose to discuss this, but to present it as a fact with which we have to deal,” Lincoln continued. “I cannot alter it if I would. It is a fact, about which we all think and feel alike, I and you.”

Lincoln continued to unload on the delegates, even blaming their people for the Civil War at his doorstep: “See our present condition—the country engaged in war!—our white men cutting one another’s throats, none knowing how far it will extend; and then consider what we know to be the truth. But for your race among us there could not be war, although many men engaged on either side do not care for you one way or the other. Nevertheless, I repeat, without the institution of Slavery and the colored race as a basis, the war could not have an existence.”

Slavery was a law made legal by whites and yet Lincoln blames blacks for the civil war.

This brought the president back to colonization, and his purpose for inviting the delegates to the White House in the first place—to get them to accept his trial balloon.

“I suppose one of the principal difficulties in the way of colonization is that the free colored man cannot see that his comfort would be advanced by it,” Lincoln reasoned. “You may believe you can live in Washington or elsewhere in the United States the remainder of your life [as easily], perhaps more so than you can in any foreign country, and hence you may come to the conclusion that you have nothing to do with the idea of going to a foreign country. This is (I speak in no unkind sense) an extremely selfish view of the case.”

Then he pivoted: “But you ought to do something to help those who are not so fortunate as yourselves.”

In Lincoln’s mind, if these free leaders stepped forward to lead the emigration of black people out of the United States, that would make it easier for white slaveholders to free the rest.

He explained: “If you could give a start to white people, you would open a wide door for many to be made free. If we deal with those who are not free at the beginning, and whose intellects are clouded by Slavery, we have very poor materials to start with. If intelligent colored men, such as are before me, would move in this matter, much might be accomplished. It is exceedingly important that we have men at the beginning capable of thinking as white men, and not those who have been systematically oppressed.”

Nothing like flattering some of the race by insulting the rest!

“There is much to encourage you,” Lincoln continued pitching. “For the sake of your race you should sacrifice something of your present comfort for the purpose of being as grand in that respect as the white people.”

This is part of republican history they don't want to tell blacks as they try to herd dumb blacks into republican slave quarters.

You are one special dumbass. Lincoln knee Democrats would treat blacks as subhumans so offered blacks a choice to escape what Democrats would do to them for the next 160 years.

Why is it you racist fucks keep repeating this shit?

Why is it you can't admit you're incapable of self-rule and are just crying to be taken care of again?

Abraham Lincoln has been given a lot of credit because he signed the emancipation proclamation. But in reality he was forced to do so because blacks refused to be resettled in a colony in the Central American jungle.

"In his book The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery, historian Eric Foner writes that by 1862, Lincoln, as well as politically moderate members of Congress, saw colonization as at least a piece of the policy puzzle. "Both the law providing for abolition in the District of Columbia and the Second Confiscation Act included provisions for the colonization of those willing to emigrate. During 1862, Congress appropriated a total of $600,000 to aid in the transportation overseas of African-Americans," Foner wrote. Policy entrepreneurs of varying trustworthiness offered colonization proposals in such far-flung locales as Brazil, Colombia, and the Caribbean island of St. Croix.

But most black Americans weren’t buying. Seeking their support, Lincoln met with a black delegation at the White House on Aug. 14, 1862, and made the case for colonization. It was widely considered a failure. Lincoln offended his visitors, and others who read the after-the-fact newspaper coverage, by saying such things as, "It is better for us both, therefore, to be separated" and that for blacks to refuse to colonize elsewhere would be "extremely selfish."

Did Abraham Lincoln plan to send ex-slaves to Central America after the Civil War?

This is part of republican history they don't want to tell blacks as they try to herd dumb blacks into republican slave quarters.

Well like you say after receiving letters from people like Andrew Moore the governor of Alabama who said he would gladly end slavery, but there is nothing to do with the blacks who are freed and if free blacks existed his citizens would need to murder them. Lincoln did propose and push a voluntary option for blacks who wished to resettle outside of where those people were. But made it clear those blacks were free.

He then invited a black delegation to the white house to go over his proposal. The first time in the US history a black delegation was given a voice in that way. Their response was completely against his plan.

So instead of pushing that through as the next election was coming up, he ran as a "moderate" again, saying he wasn't for equal rights for blacks. Once he had those votes in his inaugural speech, he did a 180, and spoke that he would be fighting for black voting rights. At that speech was an actor who seeing that the wall was pulled over the white supremacists eyes again in an election left yelling " well that means ni&&er citizenship!". A week later while Lincoln was at a play that same actor found him and ended his life.

I think Frederick Douglass had it right. Lincoln could have told the truth and run his first election not as a moderate, but based on his actions as a full abolitionist wanting to end slavery. He could have run his second term not as a moderate but as a fighter for black rights. And likely would not have won the presidency in either of them, and not been able to end slavery or attempt to fight for black rights before he was murdered.

Is/was it ok that Blacks owned slaves?

I don't think owning black people is good in any way. And the secessionists of the South making it clear that they were breaking away to protect and expand the institution of race based slavery was horrible, and all of those legislators pushing secession and 100% of the votes for that secession for that reasoning were white.

There is one exception for black slaveholders. No one knows what percentage of black slave owners fell under this, but as more black slaves were being freed, many states in the South passed laws that black slaves could not ever be emancipated. This meant that fathers had wives, children, extended family and friends who were enslaved with no way of freeing them. Some wrote about their decision to buy their families and friends. As awful as that sounds when it's the only legal option available, I don't fault that when it was the only option to live. As for those not owning black slaves for that reason they were definitely in the wrong.

And as far as Lincoln's emancipation proclamation being forced upon him, that only works if you have a Marty mcfly delorean. It was July of 1862 when Lincoln was sharing his emancipation proclamation he had written with his cabinet, and AFTER that, in August of that year was when the black delegation rejected his voluntary resettlement idea.

So to say that that black delegation response influenced his decision to emancipate, would need a swapping of events in history.

Granted he ran for the anti slavery party, and freed slaves everywhere he had the power to during a 4 year span ending hundreds of years of slavery on this soil...

There is no doubt Dishonest Abe was our worst president and a traitor for mass murdering fellow Americans. He should have been hung in 1861.

At any rate, your attack on the R Party for Dishonest Abe’s heinous actions is hypocrisy of the highest order. You ignorantly support the DParty which is the party of slavery, segregation, and the Confederacy.

Come on IQ2 stop with your racist hatred of whites. It just makes you even more dumb.

What we see here is the truth about the republican party. They were about shipping blacks out of the country.

Face the truth gimpy.

It was an option.
Abraham Lincoln was the Commander in Chief and the President of the United States whose army defeated the rebel South and terminated slavery in the United States. He began the arduous task of reconstruction, trying to bring the South back IN to the Union rather than punish it. Then he was assassinated by a sore loser.
Being black, I would think you'd be a little bit glad that Abraham Lincoln did what he did.

That said, his words were interesting and enlightening--he was not a saint but a human who was frustrated and heartbroken at the waste of lives that was happening in the war. Not a pretty view of our President but at least in the end, he did the right thing.

IM2 is judging human beings that lived over a century ago by ethical standards and mores of today.

It is a silly discussion to entertain to begin with. It is nothing but an attempt to generate hate for ones enemies. At the same time Lincoln was writing this, the Democrats were busy creating the KKK.

What of it?



Its akin to saying; because monkeys throw shit, and monkeys are a primates, and we are a primates, well. . . .

You do the the math. . .

Yes but he is only judging Rs, while ignoring the equally heinous actions of Ds of the 1860s. This is a very good example of someone lacking even a low level of intelligence.

I have stated the situation accurately when I said whites.

So instead of pushing that through as the next election was coming up, he ran as a "moderate" again, saying he wasn't for equal rights for blacks. Once he had those votes in his inaugural speech, he did a 180, and spoke that he would be fighting for black voting rights. At that speech was an actor who seeing that the wall was pulled over the white supremacists eyes again in an election left yelling " well that means ni&&er citizenship!". A week later while Lincoln was at a play that same actor found him and ended his life.

I think Frederick Douglass had it right. Lincoln could have told the truth and run his first election not as a moderate, but based on his actions as a full abolitionist wanting to end slavery. He could have run his second term not as a moderate but as a fighter for black rights. And likely would not have won the presidency in either of them, and not been able to end slavery or attempt to fight for black rights before he was murdered.

Lincoln wasn't going to run that way because he didn't believe that way. His comments to the delegation shows this.

Abraham Lincoln has been given a lot of credit because he signed the emancipation proclamation. But in reality he was forced to do so because blacks refused to be resettled in a colony in the Central American jungle.

"In his book The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery, historian Eric Foner writes that by 1862, Lincoln, as well as politically moderate members of Congress, saw colonization as at least a piece of the policy puzzle. "Both the law providing for abolition in the District of Columbia and the Second Confiscation Act included provisions for the colonization of those willing to emigrate. During 1862, Congress appropriated a total of $600,000 to aid in the transportation overseas of African-Americans," Foner wrote. Policy entrepreneurs of varying trustworthiness offered colonization proposals in such far-flung locales as Brazil, Colombia, and the Caribbean island of St. Croix.

But most black Americans weren’t buying. Seeking their support, Lincoln met with a black delegation at the White House on Aug. 14, 1862, and made the case for colonization. It was widely considered a failure. Lincoln offended his visitors, and others who read the after-the-fact newspaper coverage, by saying such things as, "It is better for us both, therefore, to be separated" and that for blacks to refuse to colonize elsewhere would be "extremely selfish."

Did Abraham Lincoln plan to send ex-slaves to Central America after the Civil War?

Abraham Lincoln 'wanted to deport slaves' to new colonies

Here are some words from the republican Abe Lincoln:

“You and we are different races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong I need not discuss, but this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both, as I think your race suffer very greatly, many of them by living among us, while ours suffer from your presence. In a word we suffer on each side. If this is admitted, it affords a reason at least why we should be separated.”

This is the Abraham Lincoln they didn’t tell you about in school.

As the free black leaders soon discovered, Lincoln’s invitation to discuss policy was a pretext for a one-sided sales pitch.

“I do not propose to discuss this, but to present it as a fact with which we have to deal,” Lincoln continued. “I cannot alter it if I would. It is a fact, about which we all think and feel alike, I and you.”

Lincoln continued to unload on the delegates, even blaming their people for the Civil War at his doorstep: “See our present condition—the country engaged in war!—our white men cutting one another’s throats, none knowing how far it will extend; and then consider what we know to be the truth. But for your race among us there could not be war, although many men engaged on either side do not care for you one way or the other. Nevertheless, I repeat, without the institution of Slavery and the colored race as a basis, the war could not have an existence.”

Slavery was a law made legal by whites and yet Lincoln blames blacks for the civil war.

This brought the president back to colonization, and his purpose for inviting the delegates to the White House in the first place—to get them to accept his trial balloon.

“I suppose one of the principal difficulties in the way of colonization is that the free colored man cannot see that his comfort would be advanced by it,” Lincoln reasoned. “You may believe you can live in Washington or elsewhere in the United States the remainder of your life [as easily], perhaps more so than you can in any foreign country, and hence you may come to the conclusion that you have nothing to do with the idea of going to a foreign country. This is (I speak in no unkind sense) an extremely selfish view of the case.”

Then he pivoted: “But you ought to do something to help those who are not so fortunate as yourselves.”

In Lincoln’s mind, if these free leaders stepped forward to lead the emigration of black people out of the United States, that would make it easier for white slaveholders to free the rest.

He explained: “If you could give a start to white people, you would open a wide door for many to be made free. If we deal with those who are not free at the beginning, and whose intellects are clouded by Slavery, we have very poor materials to start with. If intelligent colored men, such as are before me, would move in this matter, much might be accomplished. It is exceedingly important that we have men at the beginning capable of thinking as white men, and not those who have been systematically oppressed.”

Nothing like flattering some of the race by insulting the rest!

“There is much to encourage you,” Lincoln continued pitching. “For the sake of your race you should sacrifice something of your present comfort for the purpose of being as grand in that respect as the white people.”

This is part of republican history they don't want to tell blacks as they try to herd dumb blacks into republican slave quarters.

You are one special dumbass. Lincoln knee Democrats would treat blacks as subhumans so offered blacks a choice to escape what Democrats would do to them for the next 160 years.

Why is it you racist fucks keep repeating this shit?

Why is it you can't admit you're incapable of self-rule and are just crying to be taken care of again?

I don't admit to things that are not so.

 

[IM2]

What we see here is the truth about the republican party. They were about shipping blacks out of the country.

Face the truth gimpy.

You forgot to add the D Party would have happily done the same.

WTF is wrong with you IQ2?

I didn't add the D party because Lincoln is the subject and you republicans want to lie about your history.

So as none of you republicans freed the slaves that you did not own, don't take credit for it. Take credit for what you are now. Anti AA, anti civil rights, pro confederacy, fake claims of anti white discrimination, and alt right racism.

I don't like white racists gimpy. So unless you are telling me all whites are racist, then you show your ignorance every time your maggot ass starts crying about me being a racist. Because all whites aren't white racists. But you are.

You are one silly racist dude.

I have yet to see a post by you that attacks the D Party. Yet, the D Party IS the historic party of racism, slavery, segregation, etc... However you are very proficient at attacking the R Party. So helpfully you will understand why I find your racist rants against the Rs ignorant. There is little difference between the two parties on this subject.

As you well know, I am not a republican.

Stop living in the past gimpy. Today's republican party is the party of racism. It's been like that since at least 1964. So I am not going to be gaslight into being party of your party. Don't tell me you are not republican while repeating republican rhetoric chump. So are you telling me all whites are racists?

The party blacks have supported for decades has done nothing for them, yet you still support that party. DUMB.

I don’t know R rhetoric so I can’t comment on your stupidity.

Blacks were republicans for decades before that. We left the party for a reason.

And we would be fools to join the republican party now.
