And Lincoln spoke of VOLUNTARY arrangements.<br /><br />Furthermore, Lincoln's full speeches show he was AGAINST deportation. You have taken one sentence, and ignore the next. Go read his Peoria speech, for example.<br /><br />Dempends where you stop quoting him.<br /><br />Cut off the quote -- distort it, and you can make it look like Lincoln was pro slavery.<br /><br />But in the same speech he said slave owners should be KICKED TO DEATH.<br /><br />Same thing with deportation. Depends where you quit quoting him.<br /><br />He talks about VOLUNTARY deportation then says it's UNFAIR, unworkable, and unwise.<br /><br />But people have done that to LIncoln forever.<br /><br />You should know better.Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206503506011763393noreply@blogger.com
