While not a Marxist, Abraham Lincoln was willing to do whatever it took to consolidate his power, and the power of the federal government, even if it meant starting a war. This book addresses the question: "Why did Karl Marx and other socialists find 'Mr. Lincoln's War' worthy of their support?"

From the Inside Flap
"Benson and Kennedy have provided an exhaustively researched treatment of the connections of Lincoln's enthusiastic immigrant supporters with the communists' movements of Europe, then and later. They have made a vital contribution to uncovering the true story of the War Between the States." -Clyde Wilson, distinguished professor of history emeritus, University of South Carolina In the mid-nineteenth century, a group of radical socialists known as the Forty-Eighters brought their views to the United States, seeking to change its government and society. These advocates of big government supported the ideologies of Abraham Lincoln and endorsed him as a presidential candidate. This compelling book follows the rise of the early Republican Party, describing how a group of extreme socialists set the tone for today's Leviathan government. Eighteen chapters offer an in-depth explanation of the Forty-Eighters, noting their origins in Europe, where the socialist revolutions took place; their influence on the election of 1861; and their role in the Union army. Sections question the high regard that such communists as Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels held for Lincoln. Lincoln's Marxists also scrutinizes Lincoln's religious views, disputing the common belief that he was a pious Christian. Addenda include profiles of early American communists and socialists, an article on twenty-first century secession movements, and a recommended reading list. Pictures of historical figures provide a visual reference. Through cogent examinations, the authors reveal a side of Abraham Lincoln's life that has remained shrouded in obscurity. Al Benson, Jr., is the editor and publisher of the Copperhead Chronicle, a newsletter that presents history from a pro-Southern and Christian perspective. In addition to writing for Southern Patriot and other publications, he is a member of the Confederate Society of America and the League of the South. Benson resides in Sterlington, Louisiana. Walter Donald Kennedy is an outspoken advocate of limited government and states' rights. He continues to engage his audience at Tea Party events and Southern heritage conferences throughout the country. In addition to contributing articles to numerous publications, he has appeared on such television programs as Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect. He is the coauthor of the best-selling The South Was Right!, Was Jefferson Davis Right?, Why Not Freedom! America's Revolt Against Big Government, and Nullifying Tyranny: Creating Moral Communities in an Immoral Society and the author of Myths of American Slavery, all published by Pelican. Kennedy lives in Downsville, Louisiana.
From the Back Cover
"In their fascinating recent book Lincoln's Marxists . . . Walter D. Kennedy and Al Benson, Jr., examine the role of the "Forty-Eighters"-veterans of the eighteen interconnected revolutions that convulsed Europe in 1848-1849-in creating the Republican Party, bringing Lincoln to power, and conducting the war against the South." -William Norman Grigg, author, America's Engineered Decline "You must read this book." -Alan Stang, radio host, The Sting of Stang "I eagerly look forward to books written by Donnie and Al. Their research is well documented and impeccable in uncovering facts regarding the persons and events surrounding the war. I consider their books essential for any serious scholar and often find myself returning to their books again and again to glean important information and insights." -Jeffrey D. Murrah, former professor, San Jacinto College, and winner, 2007 Presidio La Bahia Award "Kennedy and Benson's research reveals some remarkable facts about Abe Lincoln, his political party, and his genocidal army. . . . I can't say enough to commend all the scholarship behind [this book], and I encourage every freedom-loving American to read it. . . . Get a copy and learn the truth about the most turbulent part of American history, then you'll understand the source of all the social and political ills we're still suffering today." -R. C. Murray, author, Prole Nation

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND LINCOLN'S MARXISTS-(the book, not the people!)
by
Joan Hough
Here's a book I wish every person still capable of independent thinking would read:
LINCOLN'S MARXISTS is a book difficult to stop reading--impossible to cease thinking about.
What follows here are the impressions rushing through my mind after my exposure to the findings laid out in this amazing work of two Americans--one, a northerner by birth and one, a Southerner.
Quite frankly, I was enthralled by the latest discoveries of truth shared with us by authors Al Benson, Jr. and Walter Kennedy. When I read their first book, I thought these two men "stalwart and admirable retrievers of long hidden truths and bold and brave enough to tell the world what they had discovered." Upon reading their new book,LINCOLN'S MARXISTS, I now must alter my description of Benson and Kennedy by replacing the word "stalwart" with the word "phenomenal."
Benson and Kennedy's latest book, LINCOLN'S MARXISTS, hot off the August 2011 press, was published by that rising star of a publishing house, The Pelican Publishing Co. located in Gretna, Louisiana. The Pelican folks seem to specialize in finding and giving the reading public a magnificent choice of books which unveil information that the nation's controllers in both major political parties would prefer not be revealed.
Many of the Pelican books, as one might expect, have politically incorrect content because they are loaded chock-full with undeniable truths.
LINCOLN'S MARXISTS is the perfect example of just such a book. Within its pages one can find what is practically the entire story of the down-through-the-ages bloom and death and rebirth of Communism in America--especially in that time in the 1800's when shot off the pens and out of the mouths of American Marxists it ricocheted throughout the South. It was in 1848 and 1849 that thousands of Revolutionary Socialist-Communists, fleeing their failed European Socialist Revolution for "Democracy," arrived in the U.S., wagging their copies of the Communist Manifesto with them as their inspiration for the continuation in America of their dream of creating an all powerful central government as a step to world domination. Theirs was an instantaneous involvement with the birthing of the Republican Party. Their Marxist connections, their expertise in writing propaganda and speaking it (in the German language and English) won them positions on the north's most influential publications. and in a multitude of organizations.
The Republican Party roots are, without a doubt, embedded in Communism. Their second candidate for office, Mr. Lincoln's actions prove his acceptance of all Communism could give him. When one compares the works of Adolph Hitler with those of Lincoln, their commonalities become shockingly evident.
The Communist 1848ers arrived in America. And thus began the story of lies that exploded into the bloodiest, most unnecessary war our America has ever known. Even in this year of 2011 there remains an unending story full of sound and fury signifying the deliberate, cold-blooded murder of American women and children, the murder of imprisoned Confederate soldiers and the U.S. Constitution. Today it has an added "New World Order," twist which is pro- United Nations, pro-hedonism, anti-Christian-anti-God, anti-family, the anti states-right, and, of course anti-Constitution.
Benson and Kennedy, clearly and succinctly -without any fanciful literary pirouetting, present the facts, prove the relationships of the Marxist-Communists with dishonest, obviously non-Christian Abe Lincoln, prove Abe's agreement with their plans, expose the villainy and name the names of the chief villains-- the Germans and non-Germans--Union Generals, Colonels, U.S. government officials, politicians, Republican Party Leaders, editors, newspaper reporters, Union leaders and members, preachers, teachers, and other civilians--all Marxists or Marxist sycophants.
We are given the identities and ties of large numbers of these Communists. Many of them, now considered to be great American heroes, are revealed to be the monsters lurking behind the U.S. government's genocidal attacks on Americans. The attacked Americans were killed, mutilated, tortured, had their families tortured and deliberately starved, their wives and daughters raped, had their everything stolen from them. Their property, in approved Marxist fashion, was "redistributed," their children's minds "reconstructed" in Marxist-designed, government-controlled schools, their legally seceded nation invaded and taken over. [These Americans suffered Hell on earth because they attempted to use their legal and moral right to separate from a government determined to steal their money, halt their "pursuit of happiness," and oppress them. [Genocide and Holocaust occurred in America long before appearing elsewhere in the civilized world.]
The Communist affiliations of the Republican wheelers and dealers are detailed --their Communist motives are uncovered. In addition Benson and Kennedy bring us up to the here and now with their chapters concerning the Socialist goals created by Communists, goals adored by Lincoln, Hitler, Lenin, Francis Bellamy, and Edward Bellamy. (Edward Bellamy was the author of the nation's most popular pro-Communist novel. It birthed tornadoes of Bellamy clubs throughout the north.)
Most Americans can expect to be horrified when they read in the Benson and Kennedy text the truth about the real meaning and purpose of the wording in the Pledge of Allegiance. [Francis Bellamy,the author, was the "kicked out of the pulpit for Socialism" Baptist preacher. His pledge packs a direct insult to all Confederate ancestors and their descendants. The word "indivisible" was Bellamy's way of declaring Southerners committed treason--were traitors to the U.S. Constitution because no state had the right to become "divisible" and leave the Union.] Bellamy thus voiced a Marxist, gigantic, horrendous lie and has made nearly all Americans recite it over and over and over again.]
In LINCOLN'S MARXISTS, we also find chapters highlighting and puncturing many of the Socialist still-in-flight, brainwashing balloons. The balloons' well-propagandized contents include Communist goals achieved in the U.S. in the 1860's and still in place in our U.S. government and those goals not yet attained, but still being pursued by American Communists, their fellow travelers and vast multitudes of brainwashed followers. Communists are still highly influential on America's political scene and in nearly every aspect of American life. They may no longer parade under the title "Communists," but by their actions are they known.
Among the eighteen fascinating chapters in the book, is one titled "Evangelicals Marching with Mars" Another most intriguing Addendum is labeled "Socialist Influences on Feminism." An additional Addendum, "Twenty First Century American Secession Movements" offers much food for thought. The Preface and Introduction contain some important information. I found the explanation as to why our government was created as a Republic, rather than a Democracy of great interest. I shall not forget truth presented in a crystallized form in the W.E. Dodd quote, "the election of Lincoln and, as it turned out, the fate of the Union was thus determined not by native Americans but by voters who knew least of American history and institutions." That is, in my own words- ignorant foreigners determined the fate of the Union, destroyed thirteen sovereign states and caused up to a million American deaths. These foreigners were dedicated Communist-Marxists. Their helpers were mostly duped fellow ethnics.
It seems to this reader that the Benson and Kennedy book of truth was designed to be read and studied by folks with above average acumen-- by men and women who. once informed, once awakened to the truth, will dedicate themselves to spreading their knowledge far and wide, enabling the non-readers to understand just how the lies of our past have been to the detriment of our America, and how how the lies have been perpetuated by fanatically impassioned, "greedy for power" Americans. The readers should help others understand how the Communist initiated lies have harmed us, harmed our American Republic, shredded our U.S. Constitution and now threaten the very tomorrows of all living Americans and all yet to be born. We have been virtually enslaved because of Marxist lies. We have progressive Income Tax, Government control of the education of our young (brainwashing), redistribution of the wealth--from each according to his ability to each according to his need, taxing on anything that moves or does not, a central bank--a private one disguised as a Federal one, etc., etc., etc.--all of these are Communist creations.
The Truth shall set us free. I do hope all who read this book will tell its truth.
LINCOLN'S MARXISTS by Al Benson, Jr. and Walter Kennedy is available through www.Amazon.com. I already have purchased several copies of it and expect to buy more.

Lots of good info. Great for those who really want to know the truth about our history instead of sitting on the sidelines.

Mr. Benson has produced a superb historical work which should be a standard text that every American should read before graduating from high school. This work brings to light the fact that Marxist forces, both foreign and domestic, were heavily involved in both the Union Army and Union Government, as both waged a war of aggression against the South. I say this, and I am a citizen of Massachusetts. The "Lincoln Cult" has gone to great lenghts for nearly 150 years to suppress the facts that enable a student of history to just "connect the dots." If one is to truly understand today's world in our former free "Republic of Republics," this is a must read!
