It’s a joke. It basically says “We don’t *really* want to get rid of them. We just want to make sure they are limited to being our dirt-cheap servants.”

Pretty much. We don’t want to get rid of them, because they make a great slave class. Part of keeping slaves means denying them citizenship. That rumbling sound you just heard was every Union soldier rolling in his grave at the same time.
