    They would be controlled and not out robbing convenience, CBD, gas
    stations, and liquor stores. I don't see that as a problem.

    Lincoln fucked it all up because he had no contingency plans to
    repatriate these farm animals once released.

    Lincoln freed all the black slaves to unemployed, left them with no

    They ate a lot and were intentionally bred to be dumb and strong.

    Not quite: it was Andrew Johnson, after Lincoln's assassination.

    Lincoln let stand Sherman's Field Order 15 ("40 Acres and a Mule"), but
    Johnson (a TN segregationist) was who ordered it rescinded.

    While Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a landmark in
    ending
    slavery, it did not provide immediate solutions for employment,
    healthcare, or education for freed people.

    Didnt need to

    The transition from slavery to freedom was marked by severe
    hardship
    ,
    including hunger, disease, and lack of opportunity,

    The reality was that most of them continued to do what
    they had done as slaves and were free to do something
    else instead and do paid work instead. The work still had
    to be done

    The confederate plantations were confiscated,

    Bullshit they were

    Were you there?

    Historian Jim Downs estimates that about a quarter of the four
    million

    freed slaves either died or suffered from illness between 1862 and
    18
    70,

    1862 is completely bogus given the civil war ended in 1865

    calling this "the largest biological crisis of the 19th century"

    More mindless bullshit

    How do you know it didn't happen?
