Not having heard any of this, I find this just one more in series of embarassments for presidential candidates. Its ominous to me that that so many candidats have so little common sense and/or such poor advisers that they can be drawn into these silly arguments as opposed to delivering a consistent message in a 20-30 second soundbite. thats all the american populace can listen to as thats what makes it onto the news. dubya figured that much out.

bruiser, A series of articles and books about Lincoln were recently written by some libertarians associated with the Mises Institute and Lew Rockwell. I think they more or less challenged conventional wisdom about the period. I glanced at a few articles, but didn't have enough of an interest to read anything carefully. I suspect that if all you've read are the standard history texts, you won't have an appreciation for this other perspective. They may have a point. You know how it goes, the winner always gets to write the history. ;-) mises.org
