Abraham Lincoln: The Southern View Tapa blanda - 2010

Información de la editorial

Nearly everything you've been taught about Abraham Lincoln comes from pro-North authors and publishers. So if you want to know who he really was, you'll need to read about him from the South's perspective.

In Abraham Lincoln: The Southern View, award-winning author Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook provides an in-depth look at our sixteenth president as seen through the eyes of Dixie. Revealed is a man completely unknown to most Americans, both North and South; an unscrupulous demagogue and anti-Christian liberal who broke hundreds of laws; ignored and even subverted the Constitution; appointed socialists and communists to key positions in his administration and armies; used money from the Yankee slave trade to fund his war; sanctioned the murder of both Southern blacks (who would not enlist in the Union army) and harmless Southern noncombatants (including women and children); had tens of thousands of innocent Northerners arrested, imprisoned, and sometimes tortured and executed without charge or trial; rigged the 1860 and 1864 elections; confiscated and destroyed private property; censored governmental debate over secession; and more. Throughout all of this, Southern historians estimate that some 3 million Americans, of all races, died in direct consequence of his actions.

While he publically declared that his goal was to "preserve the Union," he actually destroyed it. And when he later tried to alter the character of the War with his fake and illegal Emancipation Proclamation, he was formulating plans behind closed doors to deport all blacks out of America, "back to their native land," as he phrased it earlier on August 21, 1858. Lincoln's true agenda, as Colonel Seabrook shows, was to demolish the idea of states' rights in the South and install big government in the North. And, as the staunch supporter of American apartheid himself stated repeatedly, he was willing to do this with or without ending slavery.

With nearly 3,000 footnotes and a 1,000-book bibliography, this, the fifth edition of Abraham Lincoln: The Southern View, is an important, well documented work that will appeal to all those interested in authentic U.S. and Confederate history. Includes communist leader Karl Marx's 1864 letter to Lincoln. You will never look at Lincoln or his War the same way again. The Foreword is by Clint Johnson, author of the bestseller The Politically Incorrect Guide to the South. Available in paperback and hardcover.

Acclaimed neo-Victorian Civil War scholar Lochlainn Seabrook, a descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens, John S. Mosby, Edmund W. Rucker, and William Giles Harding, is the most prolific and popular pro-South writer in the world today. Known by literary critics as the "new Shelby Foote" and by his fans as the "Voice of the Traditional South," the Sons of Confederate Veterans member is a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal and currently the author and editor of nearly 100 books. Described by his readers as "life-altering" and "game-changing," his work has introduced hundreds of thousands to the truth about the War for Southern Independence. A Kentucky Colonel, a 7th generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage, and the 6th great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, Colonel Seabrook has a 45-year background in American and Southern history, and is the author of the international blockbuster Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!

Seabrook's other titles include: Abraham Lincoln Was a Liberal, Jefferson Davis Was a Conservative; Lincoln's War: The Real Cause, the Real Winner, the Real Loser; The Unholy Crusade: Lincoln's Legacy of Destruction in the American South; and The Bittersweet Bond: Race Relations in the Old South as Described by White and Black Southerners.
