No one would be forced to go; the only ones to go would be people who made their own choice to depart. Lincoln eventually backed off his support for colonization, and on July 1, 1864, Lincoln's secretary, John Hay, noted that Lincoln had "sloughed the idea of colonization."
Yes. Thanks Roger. That fact is often left out when certain individuals wrongly claim Lincoln claimed he supported colonization flat out.
