(Jeb Smith, Abbeville Institute) - From what has been shown throughout this book, it would seem obvious that we should. No single man in American history has done more to abolish liberty than him. Yet Lincoln was not the real issue; he was one person, powerless unless backed by voters and wealthy interests. If we imagine the political decay instituted by the war and his election as a tree, Lincoln himself is simply one piece of fruit.

Southerner Benjamin Palmer said, “He is nothing more than a figure upon the political chessboard… moved by the hands of the unseen player.
