Will Lincoln go down in History,as America's Dictator President?

[Gene C]

My problem with the DiLorenzo quote above is his broad definition of "enemy" and "traitor".
With such a broad definition, who among us would not be an "enemy' or "traitor" to our government based upon DiLorenso's interpretation. As to prominent newspaper editors, Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, frequently disagreed with Lincoln's policies and actions. Can't recall his paper being shut down or Greeley thrown in jail. Does DiLorenzo site later in his book, the specific examples of "dozens" - (more than 24 ?) of newspapers being shut down, and editors thrown in jail?

DiLorenzo appears to take a common tactic when people disagree politically. Take someones actions you disagree with, and over exaggerate it. Then critisize and ridicule it. Many of our media political analyst do this on a daily basis. DiLorenzo appears to have done this in the paragraph that Roger sited.
