Here is the summary. <br /><br />Deportation and Colonization are two vastly different things. <br /><br />Lincoln joined the American Colonization Society in the mid 1850s. The ACS began in 1816 - in a way as a solution to the "free black problem." It's early prominent members were James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Francis Scott Key, and Henry Clay. Although many prominent political elite slave-owners were involved - believing the presence of free blacks encourage slave dissent and runaways - the majority of the ACS's members were philanthropists who encouraged opportunities for free black to relocate. Lincoln's membership is where much of the deportation myth originates. However, we can not know for certain what Lincoln's personal ambitions were during the war - colonization or deportation. His actions and writings indicate colonization as he never penned or spoke for forced relocation. By 1865, it is completely obvious that he did not intent deportation. His final speech mentioned black suffrage, or, the right to vote. <br /><br />Having said that, I'd like to point out that the issue of racism and the issue of slavery are different things that can be interchangeable in the United States. This often gets lost on people, especially heritage advocates. Racism was a national disease, race based slavery was a southern disease. Abolitionists, Free-Soilers, Republicans, all abhorred slavery in one way or another but more specifically, they abhorred slavery's expansion. This, however, is not the same thing as saying they were not racists or that racism did not exist in the North. <br /><br />Heritage advocates often point to groups like the ACS and/or Lincoln's membership in the ACS as a tu quoque way of diverting attention away from the South. This is an odd distraction as if Lincoln being a racist somehow vindicates claims that the war had nothing to do with slavery. It doesn't. I think it's more of a feeble attempt to tear down the symbol of defeat. Regardless, only stupid people argue that racism only existed in the South. <br /><br />David Tatum Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558472066496171848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379547326281009317.post-14042251973274588732015-09-18T00:50:22.307-07:002015-09-18T00:50:22.307-07:00I Got an interesting comment from a fellow in Geor...I Got an interesting comment from a fellow in Georgia who "forgot"to use his name.<br />He's one of the few Floggers I have a grain of respect for.<br />But if ya don't want to use your name,ya stays in the Phantom Zone !David Tatum Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558472066496171848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379547326281009317.post-22065572905132760002015-09-17T19:00:50.045-07:002015-09-17T19:00:50.045-07:00Well said sir!Well said sir!C.W.
