I hate to burst your bubble, but Lincoln did advocate repatriating slaves to Africa, in much the same way that Spaniards were repatriated to Mexico. repatriate Spaniards to Mexico?? first time I hear of this....    That phrase is so wrong in so many levels...    to repatriate means to return to the homeland or original nation, last time I checked Spaniards' homeland wasn't Mexico...    Why would there be a need to repatriate a white European people out of the US? it's like saying that the French were repatriated to Guyana, or the Portuguese to Brazil :rolleyes: :rofl
