Perhaps if Lincoln only deported the slaves born in Africa that would be best. Since obviously they were brought here against their will.

By 1862 the only slaves born in Africa were old. The Atlantic Slave Trade was banned on January 1st,1808. So if they were born on the trip over sometime in 1807 they were already 55 so even a little kid of 10 was in his mid 60s by than. Do you want to dump 60 somethings in a land they have never been (Most likely since Africa is a big place) and have them learn or relearn how to live their at that age?
