The Lincolnian Bicentennial

  • Joseph E. Fallon on a man who "validated Voltaire’s observation that 'Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities'" — Lincoln and God.


  • Joseph Sobran on a man who "was largely right about slavery, [but who] was wrong about secession—a separate question, as most Northerners once understood" — Shattering Lincoln’s Dream .


  • Daniel Larison on "the idea that the central state can and should use its coercive apparatus to serve the narrow interests of an economic elite at the expense of the commonwealth" — Lincolnism Today: The Long Marriage of Centralized Power and Concentrated Wealth.
