　　A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary

War

Most Americans consider Abraham Lincoln to be the greatest

president in history. His legend as the Great Emancipator has grown

to mythic proportions as hundreds of books, a national holiday, and

a monument in Washington, D.C., extol his heroism and martyrdom.

But what if most everything you knew about Lincoln were false? What

if, instead of an American hero who sought to free the slaves,

Lincoln were in fact a calculating politician who waged the

bloodiest war in american history in order to build an empire that

rivaled Great Britain's? In The Real Lincoln, author Thomas J.

DiLorenzo uncovers a side of Lincoln not told in many history books

and overshadowed by the immense Lincoln legend.

Through extensive research and meticulous documentation,

DiLorenzo portrays the sixteenth president as a man who devoted his

political career to revolutionizing the American form of government

from one that was very limited in scope and highly decentralized—as

the Founding Fathers intended—to a highly centralized, activist

state. Standing in his way, however, was the South, with its

independent states, its resistance to the national government, and

its reliance on unfettered free trade. To accomplish his goals,

Lincoln subverted the Constitution, trampled states' rights, and

launched a devastating Civil War, whose wounds haunt us still.

According to this provacative book, 600,000 American soldiers did

not die for the honorable cause of ending slavery but for the

dubious agenda of sacrificing the independence of the states to the

supremacy of the federal government, which has been tightening its

vise grip on our republic to this very day.

You will discover a side of Lincoln that you were probably never

taught in school—a side that calls into question the very myths

that surround him and helps explain the true origins of a bloody,

and perhaps, unnecessary war.

"A devastating critique of America's most famous

president."

—Joseph Sobran, commentator and nationally syndicated

columnist

"Today's federal government is considerably at odds with that

envisioned by the framers of the Constitution. Thomas J. DiLorenzo

gives an account of How this come about in The Real Lincoln."

—Walter E. Williams, from the foreword

"A peacefully negotiated secession was the best way to handle all

the problems facing Americans in 1860. A war of coercion was

Lincoln's creation. It sometimes takes a century or more to bring

an important historical event into perspective. This study does

just that and leaves the reader asking, 'Why didn't we know this

before?'"

—Donald Livingston, professor of philosophy, Emory

University

"Professor DiLorenzo has penetrated to the very heart and core of

American history with a laser beam of fact and analysis."

—Clyde Wilson, professor of history, University of South

Carolina, and editor, The John C. Calhoun Papers
