Re: Lincoln: Same As Most Other Americans

Colonization of former slaves does not fall under the heading of making the Federal government more powerful. Even so, it remains an important element in Lincoln's political agenda. His opinion that black and white people could not co-exist peacefully as equals was believed by most people, North and South.

Lincoln's views of the benefits involved may be summarized as follows --

1) Former Africans returning to Africa would be removed from oppression and violence at the hands of white people.
2) Once blacks had voluntarily left the United States, their condition and status would no longer figure in American political debates.
