LINCOLN'S DESTINATION FOR FREED NEGROES 1862

Lincoln was looking at Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica in Central America in 1862, and before and after. 

He was also, frankly, looking for suitable sites where these freed negroes could spend the rest of their lives peacefully and restfully mining coal after their terrible slavery ordeal.

However, a propos the recent scandal today regarding Belgium is now finally facing its bloody allegedly genocidal colonial past, let's take another glance at Roger Casement..............

Roger Casement had later also pointed out, in his reports to the British Foreign Office, long after he had done his report on Leopold II's Congo in Africa, that, surprise, Peru, Columbia, and Brazil was in fact a worse situation for those there than had been the Congo under allegedly genocidal Leopold II. These were reports implicating British interests rather than Belgian ones in South American colonial enterprises.

Had Casement also researched Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica in Central America, one can see no reason why he should not have discovered similar genocidal abuses there also, where Lincoln proposed to transport freed negroes.
