I guess African-Americans don't like Lincoln anymore?
The bill has not been introduced to the public as of yet.
This TL is also different because Lincoln's views have not changed, originally he didn't want to free any slaves in real life, he just wanted to save the Union.
He most certainly did want to free the slaves in real life, but he also used the Emancipation Proclamation to gain favor with free blacks.
Abraham Lincoln was antislavery. He had been since his entrance into political office, and earlier since he was a child.
He wanted to send freed slaves to Liberia, Panama, and Haiti, sure...However, he tried it and it proved impractical.
I don't think he would have forced it.
