Was Hitler Inspired by Lincoln’s Army?

- Tom DiLorenzo - lewRockwell

Yet another ridiculous Lincoln smear by DiLorenzo. Had Hitler ANY inspiration for genocide and enslavement it surely came from the slave south and its culture based on subordination (and extermination) of certain races for the good of the state.

For the record here is a site devoted to Lincoln's anti-slavery comments: http://www.nps.gov/liho/historyculture/slavery.htm

To be sure DiLorenzo can quote a more ambivalent Lincoln. Lincoln well knew that he had to keep his more personal opinions of slavery toned down to be elected. NO Republican candidate could have been elected President in 1860 as a flaming abolitionist. And we have the historical fact of Lincoln's push for the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery forever in the land as well his push for African-American voting rights.

DiLorenzo (an anarchist as far as I know, but am willing to change my mind if evidence can be presented otherwise), appears to hate ALL governments -- EXCEPT, apparently, those based on the ownership of human beings.

If anyone can supply an article by DiLorenzo condemning the South MORE than he condemns Lincoln and the North I'd be happy to read it.
