If we're to believe the nearly 20,000 books that have been written about President Lincoln by pro-North and New South historians, he was an ardent abolitionist, a Bible-believing Christian, and a Constitution-loving Conservative who headed the most ethical administration in U.S. history, preserved the Union, ended American slavery, and became the black man's greatest champion by granting him full civil and equal rights. In fact, according to Lincoln's own words, nothing could be further from the truth!
After reading the bestselling book, The Unquotable Abraham Lincoln, by award-winning Southern historian Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook, you'll be asking yourself the question: Why then does Lincoln, a big government Liberal who filled his administration and armies with socialists and communists (such as U.S. Assistant Secretary of War Charles A. Dana and U.S. General August von Willich) and was idolized by radical Left-wing revolutionaries like Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels (authors of The Communist Manifesto), and later, socialist dictators like Adolf Hitler, continue to be annually voted America's "best," "favorite," and "most important" president by people of all ages, races, religions, and political persuasions?
The answer - well-known to traditional Southerners for the past 150 years - is that the real Lincoln has been carefully concealed from us by his faithful worshipers, the Lincolnites, some who are simply uninformed, others who will stop at nothing to keep you from learning the facts about our sixteenth chief executive and his unconstitutional, unnecessary, and unjustifiable war on America.
In this eye-opening Civil War Sesquicentennial Edition, Colonel Seabrook closely examines the politically incorrect statements they don't want you to know. Included here, among some 230 footnoted entries, are Lincoln's controversial, progressive, even un-American, views on his presidency, the government, the U.S. Constitution, states' rights, the Union, his war on the South, abolition, slavery, colonization, African-Americans, Mexicans, "mulattos," the Confederacy, the Southern people, his Emancipation Proclamation, Jesus, the Bible, Christianity, and more.
This is an indispensable work for those interested in the American Civil War, for without a true and complete understanding of Lincoln one will never have a true and complete understanding of the conflict itself. An attractive, unique, affordable, and popular tourist-friendly work that will appeal to both casual Civil War buffs and hardcore Civil War scholars alike, The Unquotable Abraham Lincoln is the also perfect addition to any retail outlet, including not only bookstores, but Civil War sites, historic houses, and museum gift stores. Available in paperback and hardcover.
