Americans only know the Lincoln presented in official histories or Hollywood movies. In these accounts, he is a champion of democracy and apostle of racial equality. These are tales, however, of a man who never was.
Lincoln did not establish liberty in America. Lincoln shredded the Constitution; outlawed dissent; proclaimed women and children legitimate military targets; and waged an unprovoked and illegal war, which killed more than 600,000 Americans.
Like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, it is time for us to pull back the curtain and expose the man behind the myth. Let Lincoln speak for Lincoln.
Now with a new preface by Jeffrey Tucker.
“Fallon’s book examines 10 volumes of collected writings and speeches of Lincoln’s, which include passages on slavery, secession, equality of blacks and emancipation. We don’t have to rely upon anyone’s interpretation. Just read his words to see what you make of them.” — Walter Williams
