Tom DiLorenzo on the Lincoln myth

Despite being mostly a bundle of lies, [the Lincoln myth] is nevertheless the ideological cornerstone of statism in America and has been for nearly 150 years. The real Lincoln was a dictator and a tyrant who shredded the Constitution, fiendishly orchestrated the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of fellow citizens, and did it all for the economic benefit of the special interests who funded the Republican Party (and his own political career).
