The Problem with Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was widely and deeply unpopular during his presidency. And for good reason.

He overturned our original constitutional order, violated the rights of Americans both North and South, massively inflated the federal government, and plunged the nation into a wholly unnecessary war. Why?
Not to free the slaves, as his hagiographers would have you believe, but out of personal ambition, greed for power, and, incidentally, to enrich the railroad interests that supported his political career.

Court historians have turned King Lincoln into a secular saint, but what did Abraham Lincoln’s contemporaries know that has been forgotten or covered up? Bestselling author Thomas J. DiLorenzo debunks the pious myths to reveal the
real Lincoln.

In
The Problem with Lincoln, you’ll learn:
  • Why Lincoln was willing to accept a constitutional amendment guaranteeing slavery forever
  • Why no American in 1861, Northerner or Southerner, believed that Lincoln had invaded the South to emancipate the slaves
  • Why secession doesn’t fit the Constitution’s definition of treason—but Lincoln’s war on the South does
  • Lincoln’s greatest failure: not ending slavery peacefully, as the rest of the world managed to do

If you want the unvarnished truth about our sixteenth president, read
The Problem with Lincoln.

Tom DiLorenzo does it again.

I have read Dr. DiLorenzo two prior books about Lincoln; "The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War" and "Lincoln Unmasked: What You're Not Supposed to Know About Dishonest Abe" and through that the myth of Lincoln being the best American president had been fully debunked. However, in "The Problem with Lincoln" Dr. DiLorenzo chronicles even more abuses of power and more myths about Lincoln.

For those who want to learn the truth about the Lincoln administration, it will probably come as a shocker that actions taken by Lincoln are used by Presidents to justify every abuse of civil liberties committed over the past 75 years--from FDR's disgraceful secret trial of the German saboteurs in WWII to George W. Bush's mass surveillance and warrantless searches of American citizens. All these despotic actions can be traced back to Abe Lincoln.

Dr. DiLorenzo should be commended for standing up and telling the truth about a man who was willing to have slavery protected forever by the Constitution (through the Corwin Amendment) to mass arrest of opposition newspaper publishers to his enthusiasm for deporting all newly free slaves to Africa or Central America.
Any reader of this book will see how a massive public relations and propaganda campaign can create a myth which is believed after 150 years.

I am impressed with how well this book is researched and written. This is a short book that is easy to read. This book answered a lot of questions I had about the civil war and the political dynamics of that time. It was enlightening and frustrating how the victors rewrote history by only teaching students what they wanted them to know. This is becoming more evident with the current cancel culture trying to remove parts of history by censoring it, denying our history the good and the bad is a mistake. We are the sum of all our history not just the delicate pieces. This book certainly add to factual history and should be taught as such in our schools. I have pointed many people to this book and several have purchased it because they had never heard about the facts in it. I hope more factual historical books continue to be written that challenge what our schools are indoctrinating people with today.

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone to read to get history as it really happened.

Having read Dr. DiLorenzo's previous books on Lincoln, it didn't seem so important to read this one. After the first couple of pages I quickly changed my mind. This book is the most concise and well researched book on Lincoln that I have ever read. While the title is an understatement, this brilliant work could be and should be the final coffin nail in the Lincoln myth.

If every teacher and professor in the country would read this book and begin teaching the truth about that hideous war criminal and tyrant it might transform American education. Of course this would require academia to admit that they have been lying to everyone for generations. Television media personalities would have to stop standing in front of pictures and statues of Lincoln to Impress us with their fake historical knowledge.

Sooner or later it would get out that the Ku Klux Klan and Jim Crow laws were just as prominent in the North as they were in the South. Overturning the Lincoln lie is going to be huge challenge. This is just the book to do it.

This book reveals the truth behind the mastermind who started the war against the southern states for economic and power hungry reasons. It uncovers the lies the public have been taught about so called the civil war. It was a war on the same line as when the 13 colonies seceded from England for just taxation, tyranny,lack of equal representation, and other reasons. America come about as a matter of secession, the southern states were following what Lincoln said on the senate floor "that if a people do not like the government, they have the right to shake it off and form one that better suits them". Even the chief justice of the supreme court, Salmon Chase opined that secession by the states according to the U.S. constitution did not 'constitute' treason

Lincoln is deified in the teachings of US history, but few realize what his personality and views were actually like. Meticulously researched and written in as neutral a tone as possible, this book points out the real Lincoln - the one you never hear about because of the aura of saintliness that has been wrapped around him. Several facts in this book were so appalling and astounding I had to check the author's sources, but as I suspected, they're all 100% legit. You will never think of this man the same way you were taught in school after reading this book, and you will see him as he really was. That's all I'm going to say.
