On October 16, 1854 Lincoln's speech on the Kansas – Nebraska Act: “What next? Free them, and make them politically and socially, our equals? My own feelings will not admit of this; and if mine would, we well know that those of the greater mass of white people will not. Whether this feeling accords with justice and sound judgment, is not the sole question, if indeed, it is any part of it. A universal feeling, whether well or ill-founded, can not be safely disregarded.” (translation those people can never be our equals).


On June 26, 1857 Lincoln respondig to the Dred Scott decision, “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.” (translation send the africans back to africa)

When lincoln "freed the slaves" he only freed slaves in the states against the north in the civil war.

The civil war president was as good a racist as any white man in his time and if he were alive today would be happy to send the mexicans back to their country.
