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

"My first impulse would be to free all the slaves, and send them to Liberia"

Also stated...

"It does not follow that social and political equality between whites and blacks, must be incorporated, because slavery must not."

And...

"It is also unsatisfactory to some that the elective franchise is not given to the colored man. I would myself prefer that it were now conferred on the very intelligent, and on those who serve our cause as soldiers."

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
