While Lincoln is most famous for his emancipation of blacks, what really got him in to office was the 'Vote Yourself a Farm' campaign which granted homesteaders land in the west. This would almost be seen as a bribe in today's elections.
Sort of like the Y2K version of "Vote Yourself Free Healthcare!" or "Vote Yourself a Green Economy!". Similiarly, the the "Vote yourself a farm!" ploy bought votes and later helped create the dustbowl in the 1930's. The later two will create their own catastrophe's someday.

In Canada, the fathers of Confederation did not think of First Nations as citizens of the new country.

These people were not allowed to vote. If they wanted to vote, they had to leave their reserves & begin living like the Colonists did. This meant they had to farm or move to a city.
