Open your eyes. DiLorenzo was exactly right.

Anyone who takes President Lincoln to task has to dodge a pretty big bullet. What did he --really-- do that they hate so much?

He helped advance human rights.

George Washington, James Madison, Chief Justice Jay, Chief Justice Marshall, Andrew Jackson, Sam Houston, and many others, even Chief Justice Taney! --all, all-- were for a perpetual Union.

Over a million union men volunteered to fight against rebellion and secession.

It wasn't just Lincoln, and yet he gets the blame. What is the variable that makes his name come up time and time again?

There is no avoiding the fact that secession was a right and it's purpose was to avoid a "civil" war. Lincoln and his henchmen were the rebels. You probably buy the spin from todays new liberals as well. The results speak for themselves. Maybe you think this country didn't go in the toilet after that war. Keep grazing.
