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

- Tom DiLorenzo -

It is refreshing and enlightening to see Thomas DiLorenzo's article on one of our American icons. As a product of our public schools, I had learned to revere President Lincoln and his fight to end slavery. It wasn't until I visited a traveling exhibition of original documents written by Abraham Lincoln displayed at the Huntington Library in Pasadena, California years ago that I learned the truth. Mr. DiLorenzo is absolutely correct about Lincoln being a very reluctant latecomer to the abolition of slavery. If one bothers to read Lincoln's own words, it is clear that the Civil War was not fought by the North to free the slaves from their horrific circumstances.

We have all heard about how, "History is written by the victors." Time and again we are learning that the common history that we all learned is not the whole story or even an accurate version of history. The juvenile name calling by Mark H. says more about him than about Mr. DiLorenzo's scholarly abilities. Hollywood can produce some great and not-so-great entertainment, but we certainly can't rely on it for our history lessons.
