It’s called the Back to Africa movement. There was also [Linconia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linconia) for Latin America. There’s even a snippet of Liberia in the article.
> Since his early political career, Abraham Lincoln had supported the American Colonization Society, a controversial group whose goal was the removal of free blacks from the United States. It, and its state affiliates, starting in the 1820s began settlements in West Africa that would eventually unite to form Liberia.[2]
But Lincoln was assassinated and the administrations that followed sought to integrate Africans into American society to keep the South from becoming powerful again. I’d argue that Lincoln’s death was when America began to slowly die.
Yeah I’m aware that Lincoln wanted to ship those niggers back, he did ship some of them back before he was killed. I just thought you were going to say there was some sort of organized jewish movement to stop this effort I had never heard about. John Wilkes Booth was a jew, so I’m sure there was an organized effort to assassinate Lincoln that went beyond booth. Makes me wonder if jews played a role in who Lincoln chose as his VP, in preparation for his assassination, like they did with JFK.
