302. o.: Roughly a month after James Henry Lane assumed his duties as lieutenant governor ((1849. szeptember)), the Indiana General Assembly passed a resolution related directly to race relations in Indiana. With one stroke, it publicly remonstrated in favor of African colonization while simultaneously suggesting that the federal government assume full responsibility for the initiative: ''„Whereas the settlement of the African coast with colonies of civilized colored men is the cheapest and best plan of suppressing the [African slave] trade…Be it resolved…that our Senators and Representatives in Congress be…requested in the name of the State of Indiana, to call for a change of national policy on the subject of the “African Slave Trade,” and that they require a settlement on the coast of Africa with colored men from the United States, and procure such changes in our relations with England as will permit us to transport colored men from the united States to Africa, with whom to effect said settlement.”''

303-304. o.: Whatever he said or did not say publicly on the subject, Lane’s family had maintained a sympathetic rapport with purveyors of African colonization since the mid-1830s when his deceased older brother served as Amos Lane’s congressional assistant during Andrew Jackson’s second term as U.S. president. Historian Eugene Berwanger quoted the editor of the Indiana State Sentinel, “[Colonization] we can enter into with heart and soul,
and one upon which we love to dwell [because] they must go.” This mid-1850s line of reasoning prefigured that used by Jim Lane during the Civil War, when, as Ian Spurgeon observed, “colonization remained his favorite option…In February 1864 Lane eloquently argued that a section of Texas be set aside for the black population.” If, by then, colonizing Africa seemed unfeasible, planting Negro enclaves of free labor in former Confederate states offered a means of, in Lane’s words, extending “to [blacks] that substantial freedom to which they are so justly entitled.” Thus, colonization surfaced as a war measure for achieving a dual purpose: keeping the races separated, and punishing treason in the South. None of this entailed any fundamental change of attitude on Lane’s part.
