Gabriel Custodiet speaks with historian Tom DiLorenzo about his efforts to expose Abraham Lincoln. Pushing against the soft “saint-like” treatment that historians have granted Lincoln, DiLorenzo exposes Lincoln’s totalitarian tendencies, his contribution to the birth of American fiat currency, his war crimes, among other reasons to have disdain for the lauded president. Ultimately DiLorenzo explains how court historians can twist our understanding of history, use this twisting to advance the ends of the status quo, and themselves alter the course of history.
