The Latest New York Times Nonsense About Lincoln

- Tom DiLorenzo -

More nonsense from Mr. DiLorenzo. In a previous article (The Most Cynical and Hypocritical Speech Ever Delivered) Mr. DiLorenzo stated: 'Indeed, Lincoln’s invasion of the Southern states was the very definition of treason under the U.S. Constitution.' Huh?

Mr. DiLorenzo believes Lincoln invaded the South!!!!!?????? Forgive me for bringing up reality: but it was the 'South' that initiated force against Fort Sumter and mobilized first. After his election and prior to assuming office, Lincoln did his best to keep quiet and not inflame the situation (read LINCOLN, PRESIDENT-ELECT by Harold Holzer - an excellent, documented, day to day summary of Lincoln's words and actions as president-elect). Mr. DiLorenzo's warped logic makes the victim the criminal. Would Mr. DiLorenzo have had Lincoln do nothing and allowed slavery to expand to newly made states? Apparently. Would he have wished Douglas, an avowed racist, elected? Apparently.

Lincoln tried his best to avoid a civil war, believing slavery would eventurally die on the vine if not allow to expand. Did he make conflicting statements about slavery? Yes, especially in the debates with Douglas -- and with a politician's need to curry votes. He even entertained the idea of relocating freed slaves back to Africa. But what he eventually did is the important thing: the preservation of the Union, the Emancipation Proclamation and the 14th Amendment. Mr. DiLorenzo's chief complaint seems to be that Lincoln was not some infalliable god-like being. He was the next best thing: a conflicted man who eventually did the right thing at the right time.

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address goes to the core of his beliefs: the Founding Father's compromise with slavery, for the sake of union, was a mistake. It was Jefferson's Declaration of Independence that ought to be the guide for the future of the nation -- the new birth of freedom. Read LINCON AT GETTYSBURY, THE WORDS THAT REMADE AMERICA by Garry Willis.

What is really behind Mr. DiLorenzo's constant attacks on Lincoln? Let us read his future articles and make a diagnosis.
