Author of the The Real Lincoln to speak TODAY at George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia
Posted on 04/16/2003 5:44:44 AM PDT by Lady Eileen
Washington, DC-area Freepers interested in Lincoln and/or the War Between the States should take note of a seminar held later today on the Fairfax campus of George Mason University:
The conventional wisdom in America is that Abraham Lincoln was a great emancipator who preserved American liberties. In recent years, new research has portrayed a less-flattering Lincoln that often behaved as a self-seeking politician who catered to special interest groups. So which is the real Lincoln?
On Wednesday, April 16, Thomas DiLorenzo, a former George Mason University professor of Economics, will host a seminar on that very topic. It will highlight his controversial but influential new book, The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War. In the Real Lincoln, DiLorenzo exposes the conventional wisdom of Lincoln as based on fallacies and myths propagated by our political leaders and public education system.
The seminar, which will be held in Rooms 3&4 of the GMU Student Union II, will start at 5:00 PM. Copies of the book will be available for sale during a brief autograph session after the seminar.

PLEASE don't include me in the ranks of those who bow each morning to their clay-footed saint. Didn't mean to. We're both southernors who respect our heritage. We disagree regarding Lincoln.
But neither of us, as has been libelously asserted, is a Marxist or un-American.
To: ZULU
that's a laugh!
lincon would have done exactly what the radicals wanted. all that was important to him was being re-elected, just like every other cheap politician!

actually you'd be living in the Socialist States of Amerika.
absent the civilizing/conservative influence of 140 years of southerners, the remaining union states would be SOCIALIST.

yep, i can.
personally using the name of the tyrant in the same paragraph, much less in the same sentence, with our the name of our precious SAVIOR is repugnant to me.
