The Lincoln Curse (Obama Edition)

- Tom DiLorenzo -

In article after article Thomas DiLorenzo has denigrated President Lincoln and Generals Grant and Sherman -- the obstensible reason being Lincoln's adamant position of not allowing the South to secede from the Union, and the military skills of Grant and Sherman in preventing it. In article after article DiLorenzo has castigated Lincoln for starting the Civil War when it was the South that initiated the physical force by firing on Fort Sumter. In many of those articles DiLorenzo has taken to task General Sherman for destroying the South's infrastructure with his famous march to the sea -- and has never mentioned that Sherman had the least casualties of any major general in that war. DiLorenzo has never criticized the Southern slaver General Robert E. Lee who sent thousands of young southern boys into war in support of that evil institution.

Never, to my knowledge, has DiLorenze mentioned the horrors of slavery, the murders, tortures, rapes, separation of famlies. And never any mention of the final eradication of slavery with the passage of the 13th Amendment, Lincoln's final gift to individual liberty.

Finally, DiLorenzo blames Lincoln by somehow giving all future politicians permision to make war in the name of freedom. Nonsense. DiLorenzo's hero is Murray Rothbard who advocated anarchy -- no form of objective law and therefore no government whatsoever. That has never worked and never will.
