He wanted to deport all the negoes to an island off the coast of Haiti. Failing at that, he wanted to turn Massachusetts into a Little Africa. He didn't love them so much after all.

And do you have a point lurking in there somewhere? Do you seriously think that this is a significant historical breakthrough? Anybody who has studied Civil War history knows that Lincoln didn't think that blacks were equal to whites, and that he was prepared to live with slavery as long it didn't spread to the western territories. That he thought emigration to Africa might be a solution to the race problem is no news at all. Where's the dishonesty? He's still the greatest President to my mind. He could see further than any other politician of his time.
