RE: "The Problem With Lincoln"?
DiLorenzo does not look upon Lincoln as favorably as most other Lincoln biographer's do.

"He overturned our original constitutional order, violated the rights of Americans both North and South, massively inflated the federal government, and plunged the nation into a wholly unnecessary war. Why? Not to free the slaves, as his hagiographers would have you believe, but out of personal ambition, greed for power, and, incidentally, to enrich the railroad interests that supported his political career." (from Amazon book description)

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
