President Lincoln has been all but deified in America, with a god-like
giant statue at a Parthenon-like memorial in Washington. Generations of
school children have been indoctrinated with the story that “Honest Abe”
Lincoln is a national hero who saved the Union and fought a noble war
to end slavery, and that the “evil” Southern states seceded from the
Union to protect slavery. This is the Yankee myth of history, written
and promulgated by Northerners, and it is a complete falsity. It was
produced and entrenched in the culture in large part to gloss over the
terrible war crimes committed by Union soldiers in the War Between the
States, as well as Lincoln’s violations of the law, his shredding of the
Constitution, and other reprehensible acts. It has been very effective
in keeping the average American ignorant of the real causes of the war,
and the real nature, character and record of Lincoln. Let us look at
some unpleasant facts.
