Real Lincoln

Real Lincoln

by Thomas J. Dilorenzo

2003

This controversial account challenges the traditional narrative of Abraham Lincoln, presenting him not as the Great Emancipator but as a shrewd politician who orchestrated a devastating war to consolidate federal power. The author argues that Lincoln's true aim was to dismantle states' rights and establish a centralized government, a goal pursued at the cost of immense bloodshed. Readers interested in a revisionist perspective on the Civil War and the origins of American federalism will find this book a provocative and unsettling read.
