Want To Understand Lincoln?

- Tom DiLorenzo -

Once again DiLorenzo attacks Lincoln and once again DiLorenzo fails to condemn slavery, Jeff Davis, or any Southern General who murdered in support of slavery. Where are DiLorenzo's sympathies? It can't be with state secession as envisoned by Thomas Jefferson who proclaimed it valid only in response to tyranny -- for it was the South that was violating individual rights. And it certainly can't be because the North inititated violence -- for it was the South that did that as well.

The historical record, as DiLorenzo cherry picks, shows Lincoln was not an ardent abolitionist. He didn't have the support of William Lloyd Garrison the most influential abolitionist of the time. But Lincoln knew such a position would never get him elected, and he was inflamed by the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act allowing for slavery's expansion into newly formed states. The hisotrical record also contains Lincoln's many anti-slavery comments -- something DiLorenzo always neglects to mention. Lincoln also wrote and pushed through the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery forever.

DiLorenzo's concern is not individual rights, but states rights -- apparently even if those states allow the abomination of slavery.

Lincoln was not an unblemished individual, but compared to Presidents before, since, and current, he was a giant.

I haven't seen the movie; therefore, this column is not about the movie but about a man deified by many. My colleague Thomas DiLorenzo, economics professor at Loyola University Maryland, exposed some of the Lincoln myth in his 2006 book, Lincoln Unmasked. Now comes Joseph Fallon, cultural intelligence analyst and former U.S. Army Intelligence Center instructor, with his new e-book, Lincoln Uncensored. Fallon's book examines 10 volumes of collected writings and speeches of Lincoln's, which include passages on slavery, secession, equality of blacks and emancipation. We don't have to rely upon anyone's interpretation. Just read his words to see what you make of them... Lire la suite
