Blacks didn't want to be a part of a colony as non citizens
They wanted to be US citizens and only 13 000 made the trip which is pretty small.

Well the obvious /pol/ack is obvious,but I'll humor you anyways.
It was the same reason America didn't let The South secede, and more recently, in the 80's grant blanket amnesty. More citizens means you make more product.

The generation of Blacks in the US is so removed from their iFrican roots there is literally no point.

Lincoln got shot, so the ACS lost its biggest backer. The Democrats got to keep their niggity note, and the Union was preserved, so no one really bitched about the Dems getting to keep their permanent underclass.

For many reasons, but we can start with the fact that there were 4 million slaves, and transporting that many people would be impossible.

What a very igornant statement? If you think colour makes nationality and worldwide construct especially in the u.s then I have to tell you to grow up friend.

I'm not him, but many generations of slaves were born and bred in the USA, either intentionally or out of wedlock with white Americans (one drop rule though).
Also shipping them in had a huge economic incentive; shipping them back grants no immediate or obvious returns and is a boondoggle if there ever was one, ridiculously expensive.

ITT: People think the current Democratic and Republican parties socio-political stances weren't almost completely flipped from what they were in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Most of the slaves were born in America, the transatlantic slave trade was banned in 1807.
