Lincoln's Unconstitutional Actions

[Gene C]

The author of the article you mentioned makes the following statements

"I was quickly reminded how blindly we Yankees revere Lincoln last week after I referred in my Magazines column to an interview with libertarian economist/historian Thomas DiLorenzo in Southern Partisan magazine"

"DiLorenzo, a modern Jeffersonian, argues that the historical record clearly shows that Lincoln was a white supremacist, an enemy of free-market capitalism and a political opportunist in the pocket of the North's big banks, railroads and industries"

I tend to ignore much of what DiLorenzo writes or says as he has a biased point of view I just don't agree with.
In my opinion, he takes incidents in history and twists their meaning to meet his personal agenda and to draw attention to himself.
