Today, February 12, 2009 we celebrate the 200th birthday of our 16th president the traitor and liar.
He went to war with the south and won. Then united the north with the south. All because they didn't want to lose the taxes.
He did not care about the slaves. He said the slaves were to be freed and deported.
In his own words:
"It is still in our power to direct the process of emancipation, and deportation, peaceably, and in such degrees, as the evil will wear off insensibly; and their places be . . . filled up by free white laborers."
~ Lincoln, February 27, 1860, New York City
"Let us be brought to believe it is morally right, and, at the same time, favorable to, or, at least, not against, our interest, to transfer the African to his native clime, and we shall find a way to do it, however great the task may be. The children of Israel, to such numbers as to include four hundred thousand fighting men, went out of Egyptian bondage in a body."
~ Lincoln, 1857
"But if gradual emancipation and deportation be adopted, they will have neither to flee from . . . till new homes can be found for them, in congenial climes, and with people of their own blood and race."
~ Lincoln’s 1862 State of the Union Address
"(It) might well be well to consider, too, whether the free colored people already in the United States could not, so far as individuals may desire, be included in such colonization."
~ Lincoln’s 1862 State of the Union Address,
regarding already-free blacks and the American Colonization Society
