If americans used to be so racist in the past, why did they never seriously attempt to send the blacks back to africa, or just killing them?
Because they are greedier than they are racist.
>>221107632An attempt was made. That's why Liberia exists
>>221107632https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberia
>>221107632Poor whites knew that without blacks, they would be on the bottom of the social totem pole
>>221107632Liberia was attempted, then eventually they filtered them all into cities. Blacks are also difficult to genocide, Europe definitely tried during the scramble for Africa, if literally every European country couldn't do it at the height of their militarism then the US post WW2 cucked by the USSR's third worldist policies and international diplomacy would have no shot. Even after the civil war the southern states had too much power and that window for repatriation closed very quickly.
>>221107632Lincoln was going to do it but then John Wilkes Booth had his chud moment
>>221107724https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herero_and_Nama_genocideNo? It was pretty easy and unremarkable
>>221107632Liberia.
>>221107661>>221107683Liberia wasn't an attempt. It was basically a shitty rug pull rich slave owners tried to rope the government into but the state refused aince the entire premise given by the ACD was basically getting the state to pay for everything after a devastating Civil war.>>221107726Lincoln shot it down
>>221107661>>221107683>>221107780ok, so what happened then?
>>221107632They're not actually racist, they love black people
>>221107632The guy who wanted to deport them back to africa got shot, no joke.
>>221107925Charlie Kirk?
>Australia started as a penal colony for bongs>Becomes a prosperous, developed country.>Liberia started as a colony of blacks from America >Is only known for its extreme poverty and cannibalistic warlordsReally gets the noggin joggin
>>221107632The real answer is it would be very expensive and hard at that time, especially without contemporary technology, and the blacks overwhelmingly didn't want to leave voluntarily.
>>221108010Australia was financed and run by the UK continuously whereas Liberia would've just been independant with it's citizens just thrown in there and said you're on your own.
>>221107632>attempt to send the blacks back to africaThat would've been expensive>or just killing them?There was never any political will to do that most of america while racist would go their whole lives barely ever seeing much less interacting with blacks so the concept of genociding millions of people for no apparent gain wasnt really something on the minds of 90% of the country.
>>221107802Not everyone went and it's been one of the most despicable and desperate shit holes in the world ever since.
>>221107975Lincoln
>>221108010>Over 160,000 convicts were transported until 1868, while over one million free settlers arrived,>In the 1800s, approximately 11,000 to 16,000 free Black people and formerly enslaved people from the United States migrated to LiberiaBlacks always made up a small minority in Liberia, even less than Europeans in South Africa.
>>221108117You've been there?
>>221108146
>>221108129qrd?
>>221108030>give freed blacks our constitution, a shitload of money and land>they immediately enslave local Africanshilarious
>>221108169stupid German doesn't know about the biggest presidential assassination in US history.
>>221108149There's been an incredible amount of media coverage regarding it being a despotic hellhole ran by murderers and warlords in the 20th century. It's so shit that no colonial powers even want to install a puppet like they did in several African countries, simply because there's nothing of value there. Kind of how everyone just ignores Haiti
>>221108185But he said it wasn't Charlie Kirk.
>>221108169Lincoln was going to repatriate Africans then he was shot by some crypto-Catholic secret society spook.
>>221108391That's likely not the only reason why. He made a lot of enemies by letting his generals raze half of the country. North insisted on "unconditional surrender", it wasn't a very popular notion.
>>221108181>>give freed blacks our constitution, a shitload of money and landThey didn't rrally have that though. Liberia too ages to expand, had high death tolls due to malaria among other tropical diseases and the ACS literally was broke from day one. The staye basically hustled 24/7 to make any money and was surrounded by expanding states/holdings nearby.>>221108391>Lincoln was going to repatriate AfricansHe wasn't.
>>221108543https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinconiaHe did. His cabinet was the one the laid the groundwork for Liberia. Lincoln wanted to process slaves into freemen then send them elsewhere.
>>221108598The plan went to hell because the ACS did a trial run in some area near Hispaniola and it went bust due to bad logistics on the ACS' part. There were a lot of pushback against the idea of of using some colonial holding/independent as a dumping ground due to various financial, logistics and moral reasons.
>>221108185that's Kennedy
>>221108635It was mostly political, the southern states didn't want to surrender production to industry that was the heart of the entire conflict. They did every single thing they could to retain their slaves even resorting to indentured service contracts, state's rights was a mistake because they still wanted to behave like colonies. You have no idea how insane they were, the average pop in the south was almost 50% black at the time the aristocracy still saw themselves as more connected to Europe/Britain they literally were going to turn the US into a large scale Haiti if left unchecked.
