Chateia-me cada vez...

...que vejo alguém a defender o Lincoln como um grande defensor da liberdade. Como alguém que só permitiu a guerra civil porque queria um bem maior e queria acabar com o grande mal que era a escravatura. Mentira das mentiras!

Toca de ler isto que isto são factos inquestionáveis e já sabidos há bastante tempo.

Denson's argument, and that of other Lincoln revisionists such as Thomas DiLorenzo, should not be misunderstood. He does not contend that the policy of Jefferson Davis was beyond reproach. Perhaps Davis ought not to have fallen into Lincoln's trap; on this issue Denson does not commit himself. The point, rather, is that Lincoln set a trap. Neither does Denson deny that the Southern states, in seceding, were in part motivated by fear that Lincoln would interfere with slavery. The question that interests him is rather why Lincoln would not let the South depart in peace, and here the answer lies in the tariff, not slavery.

E prontoxe, por hoje é tudo.
