DiLorenzo won't respond only becasue he hasn't read or doesn't care to read any books about Lincoln and his efforts to abolish slavery. All he cares about is that Lincoln prevented the Southern States from leaving the Union -- nevermine that they initiated violence against their neighbor states in an attempt to maintain the trafficing of human beings.

DiLorenzo is that sect of Libertarian, including Ron Paul and Lew Rockwell, that hold State Rights over individual rights and, like Lysander Spooner, believe the Constitution has no authority over them. They believe in secession by whim which will result logically into total anarchy and a clan like society not unlike the present 'nation' of Somalia.

As for books about Lincoln a good start would be TEAM OF RIVALS by Doris Goodwin documenting Lincoln's efforts to push through the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery once and for all in the entire nation.
