The Real Lincoln:

A New Look at Abraham Lincoln,

His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War
by Thomas J Dilorenzo
"Irrefutable evidence that a more appropriate title for Abraham Lincoln is not the Great
Emancipator, but the Great Centralizer." -- WALTER WILLIAMS
Though Abraham Lincoln will forever be remembered for freeing the slaves, that was
never one of his chief political aims. What was? According to Thomas DiLorenzo,
Lincoln devoted his entire political career to revolutionizing the American form of
government from one that was very limited in scope and highly decentralized (as the
Founders intended) to a highly centralized, activist state. This was all achieved during
his administration, and the Civil War -- which was not necessary to end slavery,
DiLorenzo contends -- was the means by it was accomplished.
In The Real Lincoln, Prof. DiLorenzo addresses questions and reveals facts that many
readers may fnd surprising or even shocking, such as:
Lincoln's career-long devotion to Henry Clay's "American System" -- a
centralizing economic agenda involving protectionist tarifs, government
subsidies for railroads and corporations, and government control of the money
supply
Voluminous evidence that Lincoln never believed in racial equality, and strongly
opposed equal rights for blacks. His cherished plan to send all American blacks
to Africa, Haiti, Central America -- anywhere but the U.S.
Demolished: the myth that the North fought to end slavery
Why didn't Lincoln try to end slavery peacefully, through compensated
emancipation -- as dozens of countries, including the entire British Empire, did
between 1800 and 1860?
How Lincoln turned American history on its head by defning secession as
treason
Proof that secession was believed to be a fundamental liberty by most Americans
-- north and south -- right up to 1861
Lincoln's "spectacular lie": How he invented the idea that the federal Union
created the states -- which were therefore not sovereign -- and waged war to
"prove" himself right
Why Lord Acton, the great British historian of liberty, considered the destruction
of the right of secession to have eliminated the most vital check on government
expansionism
How Lincoln broke with long-established rules of warfare by intentionally
waging war on unarmed civilians -- establishing the precedent for the
extermination of the Plains Indians beginning just a few months after Lee's
surrender
The Emancipation Proclamation as political gimmick
How generations of historians helped perpetuate the notion that Lincoln was
only "defending the Constitution" with his illegal and unconstitutional acts
Why "Reconstruction" was really a process of organized plunder of the South, to
which it reacted with harsh measures against ex-slaves that stain race relations to
this day
Why the notorious corruption of the Grant administrations was the inevitable
consequence of Lincoln's economic legacy
How Lincoln's war created the "military-industrial complex" some 90 years
before Eisenhower coined the phrase
How Lincoln, far from "saving the Union," destroyed the Founders' vision of it as
a voluntary confederation of states
How Lincoln transformed America from a constitutional republic to a
consolidated empire, more and more despotic at home and adventurous abroad
"Much if not most Lincoln scholarship is really an efort to shore up the precious myth of the
Great Emancipator. DiLorenzo's goal is not to undermine the Fantasy Lincoln, but to demolish it.
And he succeeds. The Real Lincoln is a devastating critique of America's most famous president."
-- JOSEPH SOBRAN
"Today's federal government is considerably at odds with that envisioned by the framers of the
Constitution. Thomas J. DiLorenzo gives an account of how this came about." -- WALTER E.
WILLIAMS, from his Foreword
"It sometimes takes a century or more to bring an important historical event into perspective.
This study does just that and leaves the reader asking, 'Why didn't we know this before?'" --
DONALD LIVINGSTON, Emory University
"Professor DiLorenzo has penetrated to the very heart and core of American history with a laser
beam of fact and analysis." -- CLYDE WILSON, University of South Carolina
Who was Abraham Lincoln?
Little has been published about the early life of Abraham Lincoln. However,
during a search of some old property records and will in a small courthouse
in central North Carolina, Alex Christopher the author of "Pandora's Box,";
in one of the old will books dated around 1840, he found the will of one
A.A. Springs. Upon reading the will he was shocked and amazed at the secret
that it disclosed, but one must remember that it is a known fact that
wills, even though they are classifed public records the same as property
and corporation records, they are rarely combed through as he was doing at
the time, and these records hold many dark secrets that can be hidden in
public view, but are never uncovered because there are very few who
research these old records.
This practice of hiding secrets in public view and the conspirators can
say, when faced with the facts and accused of concealing the records; they
can reply "Well it was there in the public record in plan view for any and
all to fnd." In the will of A.A. Springs was the list of his property. It
went into detail to whom the property was to be dispersed and it included
his children. Mr. Christopher and others were looking to fnd what
railroads and banks this man might have owned and had left to his son Leroy
Springs. He didn't fnd anything like that, but he did fnd the prize of
the century.
On the bottom of page three of four pages was a paragraph where the father,
A.A. Springs, left to his son an enormous amount of land in the state of
Alabama which amounted to the land that is today known as Huntsville,
Alabama and then he went into detail to name the son and at frst Mr.
Christopher and the others with him couldn't believe what they were seeing,
but there it was the name of the son and it was "ABRAHAM LINCOLN!"
This new information that they had about the Springs (real name
Springstein) family, this was just another twist to add to the already
manipulative family. This new information about Lincoln built a fre under
them to see where this new lead would take them, because everything they
had found in the railroad and banking saga had been a real mind-bender.
They fgured this one would be the same; so they inquired at the local
archives and historical records on families and found a reference to one
Abraham Lincoln in the family genealogy of the family of the Carolina by
the name of McAdden, in a published genealogy on the family. The family
members in the Carolinas were in a limited edition that at one time could
be found in the public libraries. The section on Lincoln and the story went
something like the following:
"In the late spring of the year of 1808 Nancy Hanks, who was of the family
lineage of the McAdden family was visiting some of her family in the
community of Lincolnton, North Carolina. While on her stay with family in
the Carolina', she visited with many of the neighboring families that she
had known for many years; one such visit was the Springs family. The sordid
details had been omitted but obviously the young Nancy Hanks had found
herself in a compromised position and was forced to succumb to the lust of
A.A. Springs. She became pregnant as a result. There were no details of a
love afair or an act of violence on a helpless female. Abraham Lincoln was
the result of that act, which leads one to wonder if the name Lincoln was
real or a fabricated name for the place of conception was Lincolnton. Was
there really a Thomas Lincoln? Since the Springs were of the race that
called themselves Jewish, that made Lincoln part Jewish and as part of the
Springs family, he also became a relative of the Rothschild family by blood."
The following information was derived from information that exists in the
Smithsonian, National Archives, the Congressional Library, Courtroom Police
fles, public and private libraries and storage vaults across the United
States and Europe:
"Abraham Lincoln was slapped three times with a white glove by a member of
the Hapsburg royal family of Germany (Payseur family relatives) during a
White House reception in 1862. The German royal family member demanded a
pistol duel with the, then, President of the United States, Abraham
Lincoln. The blows to the face stunned Lincoln but he non-verbally refused
to participate in the duel by bowing his head before walking out of the
reception room. What had ol' honest Abe done to so enrage and up-set the
royal European personage?
It seems that the practice of promiscuity was running rampant in many
families in those days and the German King Leopold had had an illegitimate
daughter named Elizabeth who was sent to America, where she lived in a very
comfortable manner. Although Leopold could not recognize her position, he
was very interested in her life.
In the early or mid 1850s, Abraham Lincoln and Elizabeth began having
sexual liaisons that produced twin daughters named Ella and Emily in 1856.
The regal German father who was so royally up-set with ol' honest Abe
probably had full knowledge of what the true blood line of Lincoln really
was. Abraham's wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, did not fnd out about Elizabeth,
Ella and Emily until 1865. Previous to being informed about Elizabeth and
the twins, Mrs. Lincoln had developed a ravaging dependency on opium. Her
main supplier of the drug was a former member of the Confederate
Intelligence Community, he was a former member because the Southern
gentlemen did not approve of his drug pushing and unreliable behavior. It
was because of his involvement with the Southern Intelligence Community,
Mary's supplier - John Wilks Booth - knew about the lover and the illegal
twins.
After being spurned by the Confederate intelligence community, Mary's
'candy man' approached and became involved with the Rothschild Empire of
Europe, for he realized the European banking moguls would be very
interested in his pipeline to the White House.
(At this time) Abraham was searching for an issue that would unite the
North and South AFTER the Civil War ended. The issue needed to be popular
to all levels of American citizenry so they could 'rally around the Stars
and Stripes' thus rapidly healing the wounds of the bloodiest war in
history. Lincoln was seriously considering one major movement or event that
would galvanize his fellow Northern and Southern patriot countrymen into
cutting loose the United States of America from the dictatorial grip of the
Hapsbergs bloodline of banking control in Europe. All the time, the
Rothschilds were trying to take control of the entire world monetary
system, and at that time the Rothschilds were trying to get a foot-hold in
America and fnd a way around the British, Virginia Company, and French
Bourbon family that were gaining control in this country through government
help.
Lincoln found himself in real hot water, because under the Virginia Company
covenant the 48 families that formed it were all of the Holy Grail
Bloodline. This country was to be an extension of what all the royal
families of Europe controlled. The royalty of Europe is Hapsburg, no matter
what their name is. The royal family of England is one such example. Now
what Lincoln did is he wanted to become independent of the cogenant (in
favor of his family) on the Rothschild side...the Rothschilds and their
family bloodline have always been undermining the afairs of the Hapsbergs
and stealing the monetary control away from them. No matter what the
history books say, the Rothschilds didn't get (total) real control on
things in America and the Federal Reserve until the Springs usurped the
Payseur family companies in the early 1920s.
(Lincoln had fallen from Rothschild grace also and so, due, in part to his
Executive Order to print United States Greenbacks, thus interfering with
the Jewish International Banks profts) It appears that the Rothschild
family wanted Lincoln embarrassed to the maximum degree. (So) Mary Todd's
drug dealer (John Wilks Booth) was hired to kidnap the President of the
United States. Abraham would be put on a boat for a two month cruise of the
Atlantic where he would be injected with and addicted to opium and then
dumped on the streets of Washington. While the forcefully addicted
President was stumbling around our nation's capital, the press would be
informed of Elizabeth, Ella and Emily.
The drug pusher (Booth) and collaborator (agent) of the Rothschilds had his
perfect accomplice in the plot to kidnap and discredit the leader of the
North American continent in the First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln. After being
informed of Abe's lover and the twins and the kidnap plot by her drug
supplier, Mary was promised that after her husband resigned or was
impeached, she and Abe would be moved to Europe to live happily ever after
with plenty of opium.
Superfcially Mary expressed a desire to live in Europe with plenty of
opium and no Civil War or politics to distract her husband or family. But
her drug suppler had totally underestimated the confusion, desperation and
anger of Mary Todd Lincoln.
The plotters decided the Presidential snatch needed to take place in a
public, yet discreet location where minimum witnesses would be present.
There were too many potential witnesses at the White House. Two hours
before the capture was to take place, Mary Todd had on the foor, a
tantrum, because Abe had decided not to go out of the White House that
night. Mary's outrageous outburst caused Abe to change his mind and the
First family departed.
Several minutes after arriving at the kidnap location, Mary instructed the
family bodyguard to take a position that placed the First Family out of his
visual sight. The position also required the bodyguard to traverse several
fights of stairs to reach Abe and Mary should he be needed for any reason.
A wagon with a wooden cover arrived at the back entrance of the kidnap
location with several men including Mary's opium supplier. The plan was for
the drug pusher to traverse the backstairs entrance, silently move down a
hallway, and open an unlocked door to a darkened room where Mary and Abe
were sitting.
After entering the room, Mary's drug man (Booth) would tell the President
an urgent message was waiting for him at the War Department. Before
descending down the backstairs, Abe would be knocked out with a chloroform
cloth. The kidnappers would load the limp body into the covered wagon and
swiftly stow Lincoln on an opium boat for a novel 'cruise' of the Atlantic
Ocean.
When Booth actually opened the door to the darkened room where Abe and Mary
were sitting, he went into a panic and shock. Abe was asleep with his head
on Mary's left shoulder and the First Lady had her head turned toward the
left looking at the door...When she was sure the man who opened the door
was Booth, she turned and looked at the President to be sure the pistol she
was pointing would explode beneath the lower left earlobe of her husband.
Before Mary pulled the trigger, John Wilkes Booth, drug supplier to the
First Lady, realized he was the patsy in all this mess. But he did not know
if he was only Mary's patsy or also a chump for the Rothschild family. Were
the men hiding around the back door of Ford's Theater there to help Booth
with the kidnaping or there to point the false fnger at the 'innocent'
Booth? Booth was not about to run into the hallway or down the backstairs
to fnd out the answer to that question.
The only escape route was to jump the balcony and crash onto the stage
during the performance. That night, Booth gave a literal interpretation of
the theatrical phrase 'brake a leg' as he fractured one of his during his
leaping act from 'lethally looney Mary' and the men lurking around the back
entrance of Ford's Theater.
In a novelty case on a wall in Ford's Theater is 'The Gun That Shot Abraham
Lincoln.' If anyone (assassin) were to kill a head of state, they would use
a revolver, because several bullets might be needed to accomplish the
murder and stop any guards during the escape. One would only use a one-shot
pistol if they were absolutely sure they had intimate access to the victim.
The gun on the wall of Ford's Theater is a derringer-the perfect weapon for
the left handed female assassin who did not attend her husbands funeral.
Mary Todd was not hiding in her room due to overwhelming grief and sorrow;
she was imprisoned in her room with two armed guards for two weeks after
killing her husband.
In the 1860s, an act of Congress mandated the compensation of widows of
former and active Congressmen, Senators, Vice Presidents and Presidents.
The month and duration was ratifed by both Houses of Congress for each
widow. Mary Todd Lincoln applied for her widowers compensation three times
and was denied the mandated compensation three times by both Houses of
Congress. An unknown benefactor paid for Mary's passage to Europe where she
died in small cottage in Germany.
In 1867, the Secret Service was founded so that drunken municipal law
enforcement could not unwittingly participate with drug-addicted First
Ladies or Gentlemen in vengeful high-brow killings of philandering
Presidents of the United States. (To cover up the murders committed which
would refect a bad light for the presiding Administration, such as the
Foster murder is doing at the present time).
Before Booth jumped out of the balcony of the Presidential Box of the Ford
Theater, he shouted at General Riley and his wife who were sitting to the
right-front of the Lincolns. Booth's words expressed his innocence but also
sealed the fate of the Rileys. Within a week of the shooting, General Riley
and his wife were packed of to an insane asylum where they both died of
'unknown causes' within 30 days of being committed." (Pandora's Box, by
Alex Christopher, pp. 282-286).
In 1861, the American people entered into the presidential administration
of one of the most brutal, cold-blooded tyrants in history. His
administration, hostile to Liberty, ended the heritage of our early
American forefathers and entrenched a system of criminal politics,
monopoly, and injustice in its place. When Lincoln became President,
morality and Bible Law were swept aside and an alien reign of terror began.
The North became one vast prison camp.
English tyrant Oliver Cromwell had no regard for human life. Neither did
Abraham Lincoln. Cromwell was the homicidal maniac who brought the Jews
back into England and into power after they had been banished from the
country centuries earlier. Lincoln brought them to power here. What is
referred to among the White-wing as our Zionist Occupational Government or
ZOG, was born in America under Lincoln's rule. Our captivity to the Edomite
Jewish Bankers began in 1860 when their abolitionist puppet and his Black
Republican party rose to power.
Abraham Lincoln's war was the second American revolution. His revolution
for nigger equality and the idolatry of Union worship over threw the
victorious results of our frst American revolution in 1776. The American
people, especially the White Christian patriots who should have known
better, need to understand this. A few years after Cromwell's death in
1658, a British mob dug up his remains, removed the head and hung the rest
of this race-traitor by the heels. In the not too distant future, Lincoln's
remains will no doubt get the same treatment, when an educated American
people realize the extent of his crimes against this nation.
