SynopsisA New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War Most Americans consider Abraham Lincoln to be the greatest president in history. His legend as the Great Emancipator has grown to mythic proportions as hundreds of books, a national holiday, and a monument in Washington, D.C., extol his heroism and martyrdom. But what if most everything you knew about Lincoln were false? What if, instead of an American hero who sought to free the slaves, Lincoln were in fact a calculating politician who waged the bloodiest war in american history in order to build an empire that rivaled Great Britain's? In The Real Lincoln, author Thomas J. DiLorenzo uncovers a side of Lincoln not told in many history books--and overshadowed by the immense Lincoln legend. Through extensive research and meticulous documentation, DiLorenzo portrays the sixteenth president as a man who devoted his political career to revolutionizing the American form of government from one that was very limited in scope and highly decentralized-as the Founding Fathers intended-to a highly centralized, activist state. Standing in his way, however, was the South, with its independent states, its resistance to the national government, and its reliance on unfettered free trade. To accomplish his goals, Lincoln subverted the Constitution, trampled states' rights, and launched a devastating Civil War, whose wounds haunt us still. According to this provacative book, 600,000 American soldiers did not die for the honorable cause of ending slavery but for the dubious agenda of sacrificing the independence of the states to the supremacy of the federal government, which has been tightening its vise grip on our republic to this very day. In The Real Lincoln , you will discover a side of Lincoln that you were probably never taught in school-a side that calls into question the very myths that surround him and helps explain the true origins of a bloody, and perhaps, unnecessary war., A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War Most Americans consider Abraham Lincoln to be the greatest president in history.

THIS BOOK WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!
This is a remarkable book. I bought this second copy to pass on to friends who also share an interest in history. This is perhaps the most important work I have read on the real cause of the Civil War. The myth surrounding Lincoln has blided us to the evil that this man launched upon our country. One of the most astounding facts brought out in this outstanding piece of research, is that the abolitionists were all in favor of secession! That would have meant the slaves who escaped to the North would not be subject to the Fugitive Slave Act. The South had as much a right to seceed from the United States as America did from Britain. Come to find out Lincoln supported the original 13th Amendment which would have institutionalized slavery in the Constitution. You will not be disappointed in this book.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

It was a true title.
I was right all along, Abe L was an opportunist not a pro black person, it was all about depriving the south of a strategic advantage with slave labor. and in war "Slave Labor" is a get over.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
