Lincoln Baloney

- Tom DiLorenzo -

Tom DiLorenzo has extreme animosity for President Abraham Lincoln. He'll nitpit a Lincoln statement or two and will say, incredibly, that the Civil War was not about slavery. And he'll criticize ad nauseum Lincoln's violation of habeas corpus while overlooking the larger picture of slavery.

Speaking of slavery, this new article by DiLorenzo reinforces a few observations:

1) I have never read, or seen, an article by DiLorenzo attacking against the slave south.

2) I have never read, or seen, an article by DiLorenzo criticizing Southern General Robert E. Lee -- a villian who fought and killed tens of thousands to keep slavery alive. Instead DiLorenzo regularly attacks Northern General Sherman who had the lowest casualty rate of any general in the war!!! Is it that General Sherman freed slaves as he marched to the Atlantic?

3) Another question: why does DiLorenze support any state's claim to secede from the Union for the sake of freedom when that state denies freedom to thousands of individuals!! A question that might be asked of Ron Paul as well.
