I also agree that DiLorenzo only discusses the negative - perhaps as effort at shocking people into realizing that the Sandburg Lincoln is a gross distortion.

Well duh. Any serious student of Lincoln or the rebellion knows that Sandburg's work is worthless as serious biography. Almost as worthless as DiLorenzo's books are.

Oh, come on. DiLorenzo’s points are generally accurate. You might get farther by pointing out, as is true, that DiLorenzo only discusses the negative side of Lincoln.
