Abraham Lincoln: The Southern View

Nearly everything you ve been taught about Abraham Lincoln comes from pro-North authors and publishers. But 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 and Lincoln scholar 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; 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, redistributed, and ruined private property; censored governmental debate over secession; perpetuated the first mass execution (in this case of Native-Americans) by a U.S. president, and more. Throughout all of this, Southern historians like Mr. Seabrook 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 the author 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, 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. 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. Civil War scholar Lochlainn Seabrook, a descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens and John S. Mosby, is the most prolific and popular pro-South writer in the world today. Known as the "new Shelby Foote," he is a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal and the author of over 45 books that have introduced hundreds of thousands to the truth about the War for Southern Independence. A seventh-generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage and the sixth great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, Mr. Seabrook has a forty-year background in American and Southern history, and is the author of the runaway bestseller "Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!"
