Clarity of evidence and sequence of events are established. This book is truth!

Bugliosi presents the evidence in a timeline and you are following the evidence. This is the best book on JFK and it debunks all conspiracies, even the jacked up Oliver Stone movie.

Important info that is not taught about Lincoln

Revisado: 11-21-23

The narrator is hard to follow. Book is accurate on Lincoln. The writing style is not interesting.

Not overlooking or diminishing wrongs of Slavery, but when something cost equivalent of $10K to $12K in Today’s money, you know mistreating it is out of the question. That is why negroes stayed after war. Northern Industrialists mistreated workers because there was always ten more to take their place. WPA slave narratives have more positive to say than negative. Northern dominance to plunder coffers was reason they invaded South. It was all about establishing the Whigs’ dream of Hamilton Clay and Lincoln to have high protection tariffs, internal improvements that never are finished and a central bank to print money and have the power to control elections. Northern manipulators stoking hatred who believe they are superior. New England superiority vs white supremacy. Thaddeus Stephens was a plunderer who enriched himself while posing as a man who fought for negroes. He was a charlatan, like Lincoln and others.

No one ever asks why did the North go to war and it certainly was not slavery. Lincoln went to war to save the tariff money. Ports from Maryland to Texas would have been a loss for the old Whigs whose politics were like the old woman’s dance. New Orleans would have replaced New York as the dominant port. Lincoln needed the protection tariffs for him and his cronies. He, Grant and Sherman murdered a million to force people not to be self governed but to be ruled. If you do not believe how important a source to rule and plunder from is to tyrants, just look at Today. No one reigns in the tyrants in DC and now we have foreign tyrants in bed with them. Thank Lincoln for centralizing everything. Dual sovereignty and the right of self govern were lost. All tyrants wage war over money and paint it differently. Weapons of mass destruction said Bush! The glorious Union said Lincoln and after a million men, women and children, black and white, he changes the narrative to Slavery. He did not believe in seceding but he convinced Virginians to secede and thus West Virginia; all because he needed two more votes in Senate to have a majority. His goons lurked at voting polls and people who were against it were beat up, etc. There was no liberty in any of his actions. He planned on sending black people to Haiti and Liberia. He said the West was for white people and not blacks. He and his generals were horrible. If the South had not had slavery as its economy, the real reasons for war could be shown clearly and unemotionally. Lincoln leaned into emotions and lies because he knew men would not fight for taxes (protection tariffs). These tariffs protected Northern Industrialists, Railroads and Bankers. Among this group were Thaddeus Stevens. He was as tyrannical and self serving as Lincoln and they both claimed moral high ground and ran behind Slavery for cover. This book is well needed. I hope its not too late to turn back the lies perpetuated against a section of the country who wanted to self govern without an over reaching federal centralized government. I have read everyone of the WPAs Slave Narratives. Slavery was wrong and all should be free to choose; however, I have read more favorable narratives from slaves to their masters than not. That tells me there is more to the story that others refuse to consider, and it does not fit a hate narrative. People tell that black slave owners were benevolent and white ones were cruel. Cruelty still exist, and as back then, it has nothing to do with melanin. Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Milroy, Butler, etc. murdered civilians in cold blood without a trial of due process; the lucky ones languished in prison. Many young girls and women, black and white, were raped and made sex slaves by Sherman’s Army. What Sherman did in Roswell, GA should have him properly labeled as the rogue he was, but the truth was hijacked by tyrants, and thus when the truth is told, it is dismissed and those who stood, or now stand, for the right to be self governed, are called traitors. We see so much of this, Today, with the Far Left, we can understand the parallels. Hamilton’s monarchical centralized government has prevailed through Lincoln, Obama, Bushs and Bidens, but Truth is shining brighter and the rogues will not be able to hide behind false narratives. The myth of the lost cause has its polar opposite, and that is the myth of fighting for freedom and saving the Union. It was fought to save Lincoln’s tax tariffs, his and his cronies source of plundered income. It was the only sustaining income the old whigs finally had control of and they seized the moment the South left to centralize everything, including the Banks and they held the South at gunpoint and murdered a million to keep their source and power over it. There were only three ports left outside of the South and the South believed in free trade with some tariffs at 10%, not 46 and 50 percent, like Northern whigs collected through tariffs. It was all about money honey! Hamilton, Clay, Lincoln, Stevens and Grant were plunderers and loved it just like their modern day cousins like it and call dissenters racists!

Stops short of Lincoln’s deed to kill Americans for tariff money to keep power and enrich him and bis chronies

Revisado: 02-15-23

The book is informative about tariffs, but what seems to be his slam dunk, is not a slam dunk. Author ignores tariffs as war reason with Lincoln and Northern Industrialists. You do not stop with the South would have still had House by 5 and Senate by 1 and say tariffs were not reason for war, when it was the reason Lincoln waged war. You cannot collect tariffs from those who are protected by tariffs. If you lose control of tariffs (income of Federal branch) to a Country with lower tariffs, you lose control of the very stream of money that gives you power. Port of New York would not have dominated Port of New Orleans had Lincoln let the wayward Sisters go; and therefor, Anaconda was devised to cut off the South’s trade. Lincoln harassed imports to Southern Ports to force the tariffs back to Northern Ports. With that income Republicans dominated in power and controlled narrative, politics and elections until 1877. The Author did not finish his job.

Excellent book and source

Revisado: 12-29-22

The myths of Lincoln are exposed with facts and details. Lincoln could not collect tariffs from the same people those tariffs were protecting. His tax/tariff base were the South. Therefore, his definition of Union could not express or imply voluntary.
