Why wasn't there a mass migration of free blacks, kinda like when Moses led the exodus out of Egypt? Why hang around and live right in the middle of
the people who inslaved you?
I'm sure they could have worked out a deal with Lincoln to get the food, transportation and protection to their new land. Why stay? Did any of the
free slaves ever try to get back to Africa?
I don't know, I wasn't there, but I'm thinking if that happen to me, I would move far away.
For more information, please watch the movie La Amistad with Morgan Freeman. You'd like it and see some sort of "mass migration" of all the freed
blacks at the end. Very good movie!!
This information sure puts a fresh light on the motives of the great emancipator doesn't it. If freeing the slaves and allowing them to be equal
citizens in this country was not his primary goal with the civil war,what was the primary goal?
