I get that this is a sensitive topic, but the banning(permanently) seems heavy handed. Then again, I don't know this guys posting history either.
From a purely rational PoV, shipping freed slaves back to Africa would likely have drastic ecomic effects for the golden Triangle of trade.
Socially, it would be very disruptive, as from what I've read the southern plantation owners really liked owning slaves and continued to do so even well past the economic viability of slavery. My guess is if the north offered to ship them back it would start a civil war much like the OTL.
As implied before, the best thing for US race relations is if they never had slavery in the first place. The entire institution required the myths of white superiority and enhanced arrogance while denigrating blacks as subhuman. On the flipside in the black community, it also created an enduring suspicion and distrust of white people.
