The term miscegenation was coined in a 1863 [[propaganda]] pamphlet titled ''Miscegenation: The Theory of the Blending of the Races, Applied to the American White Man and Negro''. The pamphlet was ostensibly by an [[Abolitionist]] who was in favor of "miscegenation" and the complete blending of the races, claiming it was the goal of the [[Republican Party]] to make the [[American]] race the finest on earth by "engrafting upon our stock the negro element". However, later in 1864 it was revealed that the pamphlet was a [[hoax]] written by two men named George Wakeman and [[David Croly|David Goodman Croly]] working for the [[Democratic Party]]. They hoped to bring ridicule upon the Republicans, the [[Lincoln]] administration, and the [[Conservative]] Abolitionist movement in general by playing on the irrational fears and bigotry of their fellow racists.<ref>[http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/Hoaxipedia/Miscegenation_Hoax/ "Miscegenation Hoax"], Museum of Hoaxes.</ref>
