Lincoln lusted after Empire. The juggernaut he put in place exterminated the Plains Indians with the same ferocity with which Southern towns and cities were sacked and pillaged.
Far from "saving the Union," Lincoln utterly destroyed the Union achieved by the Founding Fathers and the U.S. Constitution.

Professor DiLorenzo's greatest contribution is to show the real reasons for which Lincoln went to war. Abolishing slavery was not one of them. Lincoln was determined to destroy the Southern states in order to remove the constraints that Southern senators and congressmen, standing in the Jeffersonian tradition, placed in the way of centralized federal power, high tariffs, and subsidies to Northern industries.

Makes me sick really. And Jefferson is turning over in his grave

For truth and for Dixie

The truth is rising like a beacon after years of being kept hidden.
