New Book by Dr. DiLorenzo: The Problem with Lincoln

Interesting. The author bio mentions he is from the Mises Institute. Might have to check it out.

This might be interesting. I'm curious as to how much in historical writings and any contemporary accounts he cites as opposed to speculation.

---

Lincoln’s greatest failure: not ending slavery peacefully, as the rest of the world managed to do

---

Even the aristocrats of Latin America, not known for human rights tendencies, ended slavery peacefully. They found that having responsibility for slaves all year when the need for labor was seasonal simply did not compete with free labor that was paid only when they worked.

He's a full of it. Out of context quotes, missing citations, etc. Trying to make a quick buck by presenting "alternative" history LINK /

The Problem with Lincoln

---

Are progressive narritaves created for the sole purpose of destroying the values this nation was built on.

This is bs of the worst kind. It is disguised as academic work, but in reality it is a hit job on Lincoln and American heritage. It is designed to grease the skids on the Marxist erasure of all American identity. Nobody but a moron of a Left wing ideologue would lend the slightest credence to this tripe propaganda.
