In mid-May 1862, Lincoln received a paper from Reverend James Mitchell that laid out arguments for resettling the country's black population:60
Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man.
Mitchell went on to recommend the gradual deportation of America's blacks to Central America and Mexico. "That region had once known a great empire and could become one again," he stated. "This continent could then be divided between a race of mixed bloods and Anglo-Americans." Lincoln was apparently impressed with Mitchell's arguments. A short time later, he appointed him as his Commissioner of Emigration.
How prophetic. Other men saw the same thing, Thomas Jefferson among them. But the allure of riches were too much for the capitalist elite, so here we are today, our national life collapsing, and mixed breed bastards along with enemy aliens ruling over us. You see, most of our ancestors lived for the moment and didn't stop to think even 150 years into the future and now, because of their failure to do the right thing, a sea of blood awaits our redemption.
The sins of the fathers really are visited upon the children.
If we are to be honest with ourselves, Lincoln's assassination was the worse thing that ever could have happened to this country. There would not have been a reconstruction and he just might have succeeded in removing the majority of the negros from North America. Every White person at one time or another has dreamed of that scenario.
your so right about ape lincolns assasanation. Tho I understand booths desire for revenge, it would have been better if the ass had lived solely for blacks to have been deported and a constitutional amendment stating america is white only.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is quite an eye opener. Great work, I love the blog, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have known for a long time that Lincoln was an asshole but, he was highly intelligent. He had some good good thoughts. I merely have to give the devil his dues.
ReplyDeletelincoln's whole life was just one tragedy after another. Lots of southerners want to put the blame on Lincoln for what happened, but any objective reading of history will show that the South was just as responsible for the conflict as the North.
ReplyDeleteWhat should have happened in the South was a general uprising against the white working-class hating aristocratic slave holders and the Northerners should have shot pieces of filth like Stowe, Stephens and Greely, and then both sides should have hung any preacher who either 1. justified negro slavey or 2. claimed negros were our equals. We could have gotten rid of the the real enemy without firing a shot between us.
