Preface: I only did a cursory look over of this page and I can't verify the validity of it or what political stance he is coming from, the opposing opinion of Lincoln intrigued me is all and I will have to look into it better.
Snippets from Author Thomas J. DiLorenzo: After the publication of my 2002 book, The Real Lincoln, I continued to research and write on the topic. Among the things I've learned since then is that Abraham Lincoln was a far worst tyrant than I portrayed him as being in that book. A thousand times worse.
I've also learned that there is only one genuine Lincoln scholar in America - David Donald - and he's retired. The rest are all Lincoln cultists and court historians.
The Lincoln cultists and court historians fancy themselves as gatekeepers of The Official Truth. They connive, network, and politic to censor opposing viewpoints, and often behave in a crude and boorish manner in doing so. Readers of LewRockwell.com know all about their hysterical and uncouth reaction to The Real Lincoln. Many of the same characters reacted just as hysterically (and foolishly) to Tom Woods' Politically Incorrect Guide to American History.
But the gatekeepers are failing. The Gate is beginning to rust. My new book, Lincoln Unmasked: What You're Not Supposed to Know About Dishonest Abe, released on October 10, is designed to quicken the rate of oxidization.
