Lincoln, you say - now there's a dialectic

Yes, the dialectic is all the stuff in the 1619 articles (which you refuse to read): that Lincoln supported colonization as late as 1862 but was pushed towards emancipation by black protest movements. This is the history you flee from.

Lincoln did this?

No, but he supported it until very late (1862) and had to be pushed to support emancipation.
