A review of Abraham Lincoln: Redeemer President (William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1999) by Allen C. Guelzo.

Presidential hopeful John McCain recently stated that he was of “the party of Lincoln, not Bob Jones.” This could be taken in ways the gentleman from Arizona never intended. For it was not Bob Jones who said “I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white women.” Those were the words of an earlier presidential hopeful, Abraham Lincoln.

In this Age of Information it is remarkable that anyone would appeal to Lincoln as the politically correct standard for race relations. The Party of Lincoln rhetoric, for years the shibboleth of all national Republican candidates, is illustrative of the pervasive Lincoln myth that has held sway in American thought for over one-hundred and thirty years.

      In the northern states it was about race politics which was a means of federal control, in the south it was about government, the majority of the population of both sides had been indentured servants and by 1870 the majority of plantations used slaves who were africans, owned by corporations. The majority of American upper class had a negro household slave or slaves as today and familiarity bred contempt, this was not true in the south where there was little population mixing. The concepts of racial superiority came in with Darwinism and jim crow laws, exploitation was normal behaviour over the Indian reservations and that racism was part of American political culture where inferiority was self evident even though state funding was provided via agents to educate, which was looted stole and gambled by democratic appointees long before it could be put to use.Keep them in ignorance. Racism was manufactured as a means of control, fear the ignorant savage, and if there are none to fear import some.
