Abraham Lincoln's White Dream, Deportation and Colonization Plans

Mo Facts presents research from Jerome Bennett Jr. regarding Abraham Lincoln's "White Dream," which involved plans to deport Black people to Africa or South America. The segment details Lincoln's 1862 request for constitutional amendments to fund colonization efforts rather than integration. This historical evidence is used to counter the popular narrative of Lincoln as a social justice pioneer.
