C-SPAN Q&A with Thomas DiLorenzo on Abraham Lincoln [1]

It is abridged, I have cut off biographical information and redundant points, to watch the entire interview please visit the C-SPAN archives:
http://www.c-spanarchives.org/library/index.php?main_page=product_video_info&...

DiLorenzo is interviewed by Brian Patrick Lamb, C-SPAN chief executive officer. "Lamb has never spoken the words "Brian Lamb" on the air and forbids C-SPAN hosts to say their own names, under the notion that this discipline removes ego from the C-SPAN formula." (Wikipedia)

Lincoln imposed martial law, spit on the Constitution, and destroyed the Republic.

He massively increased the power of the federal government and forever buried the idea of State sovereignty.

There were much better ways of ending slavery. Lincoln followed the dictator's path.

No one is demonizing Lincoln. We are here only becaue we are interested in the facts and not opinions.

@jddrafts: Did anyone ever tell you how you eat an elephant? The same way you eat anything, one bite @ a time. A really big roast can rarely be finished in one sitting.

The best scholar you can consult on this issue & all matters Lincoln is Allen Guelzo, who wrote an entire book on the Proclamation. He disposes of your "handful" canard in the 1st few paragraphs. Denying support to the slave holders in the "border states" from the lower states marginalized them. Thing is, Lincoln got it done.

[jddrafts]

@VictorLepanto There were not more slaves but if you read the Emancipation Proclamation the slaves were only freed in the states that were in rebellion this meant the handful of slave states that did not secede got to keep theirs which they did for about a year after the war ended until the 14th amendment was passed.

Thank You Thomas DiLorenzo for Your Books about The Truth. God Bless You, Always.

(Fascism will save us, somehow, as it is being promoted by the powers-that-be as the cure-all for America's ills. The American Empire is crumbling as the building of the police state continues.)

[procommenter]

The electorate of 1864 DID NOT elect Lincoln for a second term. Lincoln "won" on absentee ballots cast from battlefields. Much happened to these ballots between the battlefields and the counting houses. Joseph Stalin's observation: "The people who count the votes are more important than the people who cast the votes," clarifies the mystery as to how Lincoln, the most-reviled Chief Magistrate in the Republic's history, secured a second term of office.

"It is the sacred principles enshrined in the U.N. Charter to which we will henceforth pledge our allegiance."

Lincoln on Slavery: "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery." --- March 14, 1861

"What I would most desire would be the separation of the white and black races." --- 7-17-1858, fr. a speech delivered in Springfield, Ill.

"I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, or of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people." --- September 15, 1858

I live in North Carolina. Lincoln was never president over a country that contained North Carolina. I can't say he was the worst president we ever had because he was never my country's president. I can say that he was the worst president the united States ever had though.

[Marian12c]

@Easleytee I agree with you 100%. That is why Lincoln is, at least to me, the worst president we have ever had. The War of Northern Aggression obliterated the Constitution, made secession in the eyes of future presidents 'illegal' (even though it's protected by the Constitution) and...oh yeah, he is responsible for 622,000 deaths.

[Easleytee]

Does anyone on this blog actually believe that the Founders would endorse Lincoln's presidency?

The Civil War essentially took the Constitution asunder.

No Civil War...No New (Raw) Deal.

No New Deal...No Welfare State.

States' rights is a dead letter thanks to the tyrant.
