DiLorenzo can marshal all the racist and pro-fl-colonization statements Lincoln ever made, but that does not change the historical realities that, because of Lincoln and his party, slavery was abolished; fls (and potentially all other people of color) were made citizens; and suffrage was extended to the freedmen.
DiLorenzo details at length how Lincoln, a former Whig and disciple of Henry Clay, used the war-and the near-total power that it invested in him-as a means of enacting the Whig mercantilist program of high tariffs, national banking, public debt, and government subsidies for big business.
DiLorenzo will be criticized for relying mostly on secondary sources and for the polemical tone of his book, which nevertheless is far more historical and logical than most contemporary volumes on the subject.

 :: Christendom College :: College News: Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo Reveals Revolutionary Lincoln to Christendom
Thomas DiLorenzo, professor of economics at Loyola College in Maryland and author of The Real Lincoln, in his lecture on "Lincoln's Second American Revolution" at Christendom College on February 26, 2003.
One of the most absurd Lincoln myths, said DiLorenzo, is that he was devoted to the principles of the Declaration of Independence.
In 1861 nearly every opinion maker in the country, North and South, held this as a cherished belief, said DiLorenzo, and, as such, thought that using military force to coerce any state to remain in the Union would be an act of tyranny and a repudiation of the Declaration.

Please note that Dr. DiLorenzo chose this evidence as his direct reply to our claim that Lincoln was entirely silent on his supposed "economic agenda" over the seven years of his rise to the presidency.
Dr. DiLorenzo used his handy snips to convert Basler's clear implication that Lincoln's 1857 words were effective on the point "of respecting the Negro as a human being" to the direct statement that Lincoln's 1857 words were not effective on precisely that point.
DiLorenzo finishes the paragraph by proving that the Gettysburg Address was insincere and manipulative, in view of the now established fact of Lincoln's contempt for the Declaration principle of human equality.

 The Claremont Institute: Dishonest About Abe
Thomas L. Krannawitter is a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute and an assistant professor of political science at Hillsdale College.
According to DiLorenzo, these had nothing to do with the perpetuation of free government and the problem of slavery: The "real" Lincoln did not care a whit about the "peculiar institution." At the core of the "real" Lincoln's ambition was an unqualified and unwavering commitment to mercantilism, or socialism as DiLorenzo sometimes intimates.
DiLorenzo is so blinded by his commitment to purely theoretical free trade that he is oblivious to the real growing division between pro-slavery and pro-freedom forces in America in the 1850s.

DiLorenzo, a professor of economics, shows how capitalism has made America the most prosperous nation on earth—and how the sort of government regulation that politicians and pundits endorse has hindered economic growth, caused higher unemployment, raised prices, and created many other problems.

 DiLorenzo Rebuttal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
DiLorenzo (and many others) also ignores the fact that Lincoln was not the least bit interested in forcibly deporting people, but in allowing for voluntary emigration, not because he didn't want fls in the country, but because he feared for how the two groups (fls and whites) would get along.
DiLorenzo ends this chapter by saying, "The foregoing discussion calls into question the standard account that Northerners elected Lincoln in a fit of moral outrage spawned by their deep-seated concern for the welfare of fl slaves in the deep South." The problem is that this assertion is based on a false premise.
DiLorenzo writes as if Lincoln's embrace of tariffs were a greater betrayal of liberty than the Confederacy's attempt to nullify the results of a free election and embrace of the "positive good" theory of slavery.

 Book Review: Rob Williams on Thomas J. DiLorenzo's "The Real Lincoln" - Vermont Commons (via CobWeb/3.1 ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
DiLorenzo argues that, throughout his decades-long political career, Lincoln’s primary political goal was the creation of a more mercantilist centralized American state through the enactment of a series of three policy initiatives popularized as “the American System” by Kentucky politician and slaveholder Henry Clay.
DiLorenzo also looks closely at Lincoln’s dictatorial political and military policies during war time, and considers what might have happened to southern slaves over time if the Civil War and subsequent bitterness of the “Reconstruction” period had never happened.
DiLorenzo’s book raises important questions about one of America’s most powerful political leaders, questions that take on a new urgency in an age which Lincoln himself set in motion, one of unbridled corporate power, militarism, violence, and Empire-building.

 Pledging Allegiance to the Omnipotent Lincolnian State by Thomas J. DiLorenzo
The Pledge itself is an oath of allegiance to the central state, and the "under God" language only serves to deify the state.
From the perspective of a Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, or James Madison, nothing could be more un-American.
After all, they and their contemporaries had fought a long and bloody war of secession to sever their forced allegiance, complete with loyalty oaths, to another overbearing and tyrannical state, namely the British empire.

According to Thomas DiLorenzo, Lincoln devoted his entire political career to revolutionizing the American form of government from one that was very limited in scope and highly decentralized (as the Founders intended) to a highly centralized, activist state.
This was all achieved during his administration, and the Civil War -- which was not necessary to end slavery, DiLorenzo contends -- was the means by it was accomplished.
DiLorenzo's goal is not to undermine the Fantasy Lincoln, but to demolish it.
