Anyone have links to reliable sources on this stuff? Obviously it’s not easy to find on search engines

I remember seeing something, a letter he wrote to someone maybe, where Lincoln said slavery was wrong but admitted that they could never live in a white society and a plan needed to be made for their deportation after they were freed. Anyone have links to reliable sources on this stuff? Obviously it’s not easy to find on search engines

Those are great quotes and remind me of what I’ve seen. Do you happen to have links? My hope wasn’t to be reminded but to share
