It wouldn't matter even if Lincoln was in favor of a forced expulsion of blacks. People don't enter into slavery of their own volition and educated moral men of the time were well aware of this. With that in mind, it's foolish to expect former slaves to migrate any significant distance from where they'd previously been settled on their own initiative either. That's just not how slavery or human migration works. How should Abraham Lincoln morally justify or rationalize to the American people, many who've sent their sons, brothers, and fathers, to fight an unnecessary war to forcibly reunify the country to then declare a mass forced expulsion of millions of people whose only crime was being born and raised as slaves, especially when even the capital the nation was built in no small part with slave labor.

As you build your case for expulsion it becomes increasingly difficult to justify such actions as moral when those people played as much a part in the construction and development of the United States of America as the free men they shared the country with. On that alone, you could argue they have more right to be citizens than the European immigrants who would stumble off the ships to settle in the USA supplanting the places of the nations war dead. Let's not forget, the descendants of civil war era immigrants would become the most ardent supporters of what could be seen as Anti-American government policy for decades afterwards.

Ferdinand Bardamu's calls Lincoln a coward. I'd agree that he was a tyrant, and an ignorant man, but a coward I disagree. Lincoln personally saw off many of the men the union army sent off to fight, something all executioners do and few presidents have since thus done. The writer is a coward in using a nom deplume and calling another man such. His hostility to Abraham Lincoln, and ignorance of the socio-political climate of Civil War America hints that the writer maybe both anti-Christian and Anti-American. If they're indeed Canadian, that's something I would expect. However, that is oftentimes the most obvious signs of Oikophobia, militant anti-theism/atheism, or a Jewish degenerate. You'll see the same pattern every single time.
