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.

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 would absolutely recommend this book to anyone to read to get history as it really happened.
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.
The Problem With Lincoln makes clear Lincoln's contempt for the rule of law, his socialist bent, his racist views towards the negro as well as Lincoln's direct responsibility for wide spread war crimes in a TOTAL WAR war that had not been waged to end slavery.
"The Problem With Lincoln" provides even greater detail ithat Lincoln's War was based on northern economic hysteria - tariffs a northern dominated Congress had passed onto the South which became the North's golden goose..
"The Problem With Lincoln" made clear Lincoln was in daily contact with his generals and was aware of the crimes committed against southerns . Sherman had even placed an emphasis on children being exterminated. Among those generals: Grant, Sheridan, Sherman and Butler and Lincoln.
