I realize what the website says. It was one of a very few I could find that state what you insist. That was my point since you did not post any links that support what you state.
I still cannot find anything out there that validates "free land" for former slaves
It was the entire reason the Republicans formed. Not to give them free land, but to let them as free people be able to freely work the land. Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men is a great book on it if you'd like to educate yourself on the topic. You want to see where he said it? How about where he DID it. Where he freed the slaves to work the land freely in the USA?
But I do find it interesting that so many revisionists like to change these things up and put in their own words on it. Somehow out of nowhere we get this forced migration revisionist BS even though not one word of that was ever spoken. Not even possible with free men anyways.
Somehow this revisionist crap goes so far that it's not "look at what I did" as in free the slaves in the US, but it's "look at what I thought about".
Even the book about it. "Colonization after Emancipation" says "Lincoln’s plans for voluntary emigration lacked the callous deportation to which more serious racial separatists subscribed”
