Lincoln’s Greatest Failure (Or, How a Real Statesman Would Have Ended Slavery

- Tom DiLorenzo -

I've been watching you and the others going back and forth on the matter of whether or not Lincoln went to war over slavery or control and I must say Jim, your repeated attempts to rewrite history amuses me. Long before a shot, resulting in no injury by the way, was fired the north was waging a war for control of the south, any mid school student with an interest on the topic will have already discovered this, why can’t you? This tactic of ‘Annoy an enemy to the point where they fire first’ has been around a long time and is still employed, look no further than what the US is doing with Iran.

I read your post under another article where you were challenged to answer a question regarding the reason Lincoln never out lawed slavery in the north or why it took him the better part of a year to do so after the civil war. Your answer was, well at best it was diarrhea of the keyboard. You tried some distraction, misguidance, misdirection, and then never fully answered the question. If you can’t back it up stop spewing it.

As for DiLorenzo, the man’s credentials go a lot further than yours (based solely on reading your comments) and yes he can be a bit of a schmuck at times, put things out there that provoke debate but he never lowers himself to your level of repeated character assassination of any one individual. His point, how other countries ended slavery is valid. Of course not everything went smoothly and one could never expect that slavery would come to a complete end in any land simply because it was outlawed. There would be no moonshiners in the US if things ended just because there was a law against it. The point is that Lincoln went to war under the guise of freeing the slaves. Period, end of, can’t fight what’s already happened. He was politically fortunate to have slavery as a cover.
