Plus, I hear hindsight is 20/20.

So what became of those efforts? Lincoln was killed and an incompetent drunk (who Lincoln picked as his running mate) was left in charge. What else? Your (brief and skeletal) response raises more questions than it answers.

Gradual emancipation? As in not fully freeing the slaves until 1912 or so?

So black people were anticipated to be the problem, not white people at all?
