That's hard to do when their population grows at 3 times the rates of white people. Lincoln made a mistake in not helping them get back to Africa after slavery. I would have preferred to bank roll Liberia for decades as reparations instead of what we have today.

Lincoln's policy was to make it voluntary for ex-slaves to migrate to Liberia. Big mistake which he might have corrected if he had lived.
