Linconia Linconia was the name of a proposed Central American colony suggested by United States Senator Samuel Pomeroy of Kansas in 1862, after U.S. President Abraham Lincoln asked the Senator and United States Secretary of the Interior Caleb Smith to work on a plan to resettle African Americans from the United States. ==Background== Since his early political career, Abraham Lincoln supported the American Colonization Society, a group which spawned in the early 19th century to return former African American slaves back to the continent of Africa. They helped to establish the colony of Liberia in 1821. Similar to Linconia, the name of Liberia's capital Monrovia was derived from the name of the fifth President of the United States James Monroe.〔 Lincoln desired to return former slaves to Africa in order to secure jobs for "free white laborers." He repeated this sentiment at numerous times, including during the American Civil War.〔
