In this timeline of U.S. history President Lincoln realizes that the white citizens of the just defeated Confederacy will in no way shape or form live in peace with their newly freed Negro neighbors so he carved out a new autonomous republic for them. Lincoln chooses the ex-American state of Florida as the location of this new nation because it was the least populated so he would hear the least amount of grumbling if it's disgruntled (and just defeated) white residents.President Lincoln mandates all Negroes in the former Confederate states to relocate to their new home country.Ex soldiers who fought for the Union are given the generous share of land grants and cattle in thanks for their service.The logistical challenges take a little bit of time to overcome but gradually it settles down and the new republic starts off it's course in history.This decision by Lincoln avoids the horrors of the post Civil War South's treatment of Negro residents such as Jim Crow Laws,lynching,separate but equal,false imprisonment,etc.,etc.Your thoughts.....
