The Mythology of Mr. Lincoln

Never has there been a president in the history of America who needs to be looked at more critically and candidly than our sixteenth president, Abraham Lincoln. To be analytical of the so called savior of our nation and preserver of our union is to be called seditious and the most UN-American of a citizen. The "preserver" of our union was everything but that, he and his administration disjoined our country to its eventual collapse, his personal agenda of abhorrence to the South’s possible use of states rights (meaning secession of the South from the Union) which would've consequently lost a enormous amount of revenue for the industrial empire that was the North and inevitably put our country into a senseless barbarian civil war. Abraham Lincoln was as most civil war enthusiast know, a loyal Whig until the parties collapse in the mid 1850’s. He officially changed his party to Republican desiring to obtain a large amount of money for his cronies in the party of Henry Clay, the very same political kooks who believed the same doctrine as the Communist Manifesto basing them upon high protective tariffs, a centralized banking system and internal improvements. The hatred for the south came when the threat of using their constitutional right of secession was considered by the inhabitants of the South, who demanded the abolition of the eighty percent income tariffs of Southern ports (the South made up about twenty percent of the union while paying eighty percent of all tariffs). Lincoln knew that if the South would consider seceding, its removal would be a massive loss of income for his campaign of a larger Federal Government and his protection of dangerous industrial interest.Until Lincoln’s contempt and disregard of our constitution and our countries founding documents secession was a right greatly preserved by the federal government for the North and South. We are the only industrial country on earth that extinguished involuntary servitude through the means of warfare when our own federal government could have with much more ease abolished it through compensation of the owners of slaves, when the much more passive and possibly more fiscally responsible way of peaceful atonement is the road not taken I have to look at the leadership with skepticism. Abraham Lincoln was not a friend of the African American in fact if he was president any longer than John Wilkes Booth permitted he would have carried out the final arrangements of his fellow members at the American Colonization Society which was to send all blacks to Liberia, the same ideology of the modern Neo-Nazis. He never advocated the eradication of slavery because he thought it was a necessary evil; to do so he advocated the absolute destruction of the agrarian South to prevent the North from losing the South's monetary assistance meaning modern corporate welfare, which was favored by the former lobbyist Abraham Lincoln and his friends in the railroad and other industries.I will end my critique of Lincoln by putting two of my favorite quotes by him.

"If I could preserve the union with freeing the slaves I would do so, if I could preserve the union without freeing the slaves I would do so."


"First Inaugural Address that "I have no purpose or intention to interfere with slavery where it exists."

I hope in the future individuals stop looking at people of celebrity stature with blind wonderment and awe and actually research and be critical of former leaders.
