Lincoln during this period seemed to personally favor and toy with colonization, Lincoln the politician dropped it when it didn't have support.

Did it have merit? Would assume it would depend on how one views the alternatives and historical outcome. But you see some claiming 150 years of "oppression" that they claim continues even today in the US, if so wouldn't colonization perhaps been a better alternative?

Know some American and Canadian ex slaves did colonize to Liberia and Sierra Leone. Is their any books/studies on the colonies outcomes and how the colonization is viewed by their descendants today?
