In a previous post I made an effort to dispel some of the Lincoln dispellers, but I have just come across this video featuring Thomas DiLorenzo. DiLorenzo is the author of The Real Lincoln and Lincoln Unmasked and is one of the major Lincoln dispellers. He makes repeated references to the "Church of Lincoln" and claims that Lincoln scholars have deified Lincoln and don't criticize him at all. This is just plain wrong and it shows that DiLorenzo has little knowledge of the historiography of Lincoln. He is nothing more than a pseudo-historian who writes history for his own present, political purposes.
history, historiography, politics, current events
