Lincolns Lost Colony: The Black Emigration Scheme of Bernard Kock Thompson Boyce
Abraham Lincoln is widely renowned for his stance on the emancipation of enslaved people in a period when America was sorely divided over the subject. This work tells the quiet but bloody history of Bernard Kock, a New Orleans entrepreneur with an ill-fated attempt at establishing a cotton plantation on Ile a Vache, a deserted Haitian island, using formerly enslaved Americans. However, at the same time, there was a little-known event that took place--one that left a stain on Lincoln's legacy, and has apologists still trying to expunge it today.
With chapters on Lincoln's encouragement of black deportation, the establishment of the plantation, the futile attempts at damage control and more, this text reveals an untold part of Lincoln's It also covers Lincoln's involvement and support of Kock's plan, as well as his pledge of $50 in government funding for each of the 453 colonists.
