Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that the Confederacy is the epitome of evil, and that jeff Davis took orders directly from Satan in rituals in which he sacrificed children. Let's just say that, and move on to the topic of DiLorenzo's article.

"Above the Constitution, even above the Declaration, as an expression of American principles, is the magnanimous figure of Lincoln," wrote Jaffa’s colleague Charles Kessler in National Review (July 6, 1979).

Did Charles Kessler write that in NR, July 6, '79, or not? If so, do you agree with that sentence? I can't imagne how that sentence could be taken out of context. I find it an amazing and disturbing sentence.

You forgot to admit that Jeff Davis boiled babies for breakfast.

Personally, I don't think that any one figure in our history personafies American principles more than any other, and the fact that DiLorenzo seems to think that one person can is yet another strike against him in my book. Lincoln was no saint, but he wasn't the sinner that DiLorenzo makes him out to be.

When we review the record, we'll say the same thing.
