Questions About John Brown

[ELCore]

Before anyone accuses me of being pro-slavery, I want to try to make my point extra clear: Did no one in the Lincoln administration or among the Radical Republicans foresee major race relations problems in the country after slavery had been eradicated, particularly because of the way it was eradicated? Apparently not, or apparently they didn't care enough, since interest in the plight of the freed slaves waned soon after the war ended.

Of course. Thus, the efforts to induce gradual emancipation and colonization.

Plus, I hear hindsight is 20/20.
