Would America be better off if Lincoln had deported the Africans after freeing them? NO.

actually, america would be better-off if we had a school lunch program which provided daily milk to all of the school children.

Americans seems oblivious to the fact their country is the most racist nation in human history.

Don't believe it? Consider this: No other country since the dawn of time ever fought a civil war to end slavery.

Some had slave revolts. (i.e.: Rome, Sparta). But none ever warred against itself to end enslavement.

Consider also that nobody else has the issues with black citizens that the US does since those issues are the result of deliberate and intentional "white privilege" disenfranchisement of its black citizens.

There's no denying that fact because there's decades worth of academic studies on that very subject; even an Emmy Award winning documentary ('Ethnic Notions' - 1986.)

Don't believe that either? Go look up those studies and that documentary.

Or just go to nations with black minorities to see how they're nothing like US blacks.

Canada's right next door to the US, and has none of the ghettos the US is so notorious for.

There's no "white flight" or white gated communities either. Instead, Canada was the promised land US blacks escaping slavery in the US fled to for freedom and remains a country where people treat others like people, not skin colours.

To paraphrase Dr. Martin Luther King in a 1967 speech broadcast nationwide during a visit to Canada:

"Canada is not merely a neighbour to African Americans. Deep in our history of struggle for freedom Canada was the North Star. The African American slave, denied education, de-humanized, imprisoned on cruel plantations, knew that far to the north a land existed where a fugitive slave, if he survived the horrors of the journey, could find freedom. The legendary underground railroad started in the south and ended in Canada. The freedom road links us together. Our spirituals, now so widely admired around the world, were often codes. We sang of 'heaven' that awaited us, and the slave masters listened in innocence, not realizing that we were not speaking of the hereafter. Heaven was the word for Canada and the African American sang of the hope that his escape on the underground railroad would carry him there. One of our spirituals, 'Follow the Drinking Gourd', in its disguised lyrics, contained directions for escape. The gourd was the big dipper, and the North Star to which its handle pointed gave the celestial map that directed the flight to the Canadian border."

For America to be better off, it'll need to civilize its white population to quit being racist pr*cks.

Because racists are useless and good for nothing, exactly what they think of the objects of their fear & dislike.

Yes. Lincoln was of the opinion that the two races could not live together. It seems, unfortunately, that he was right.

It'd be better off now had after freeing them she stuck to the treaty and gave them 40 acres and a mule instead of leaving them impoverished with nothing to show for the 400 years of slavery.

No, America would be better off if the Socialists that hijacked the Democrat party were deported so now we wouldn't be dealing with their race baiting and inciting riots.

And then no other countries people would be able to come to America -- It would still be under The Native American Indian -- control --

Yes.

The Deportations would have been a good idea.

absolutely

it would've saved the US a lot of bother with racial problems in the 20th century, & the problems now.

integration has been a failure

they should've been given their own settlement, to run it themselves -- or sent back to africa or the carribean.

much better off. someone else should be "blessed" with the bottom dwellers.

That would have been the smart play.
