Listen Trav, what makes Dilorenzo's body of work so powerful is that it is solidly rooted in documented facts. That from day one he was an unabashed Whig supporting a central bank, corporate welfare, and high protective tariffs alone proves he was a strong opponent of the liberals. That you say he was more in line with CL than Rothbard is just another in an endless series of laughable and ill-conceived statements that you make. The man was a white supremacist, who time and time again defended slave owners in their attempts to re-acquire run away slaves. He never once defended a slave. But why would he? It's well documented that he thought they were an inferior race, and he was even working to have them all deported to his dying day. He was a crony capitalist who worked on the behalf of the crony railroads. He bought up land in Council Bluffs IA only to later make that the starting point of the transcontinental railroad. And I hope don't have to again list the treason and tyranny he committed as president.
Lincoln was for a strong central government, the antithesis of classical liberal philosophy. That you don't get this either proves how willfully ignorant you are or something worse. I hope you are just kicking and screaming because it's too much of an emotional shock to you given what you've said of your family's connection to him. Hell, it was a shock to me in the beginning, but facts don't lie. Hooey to your empty statement that he takes things out of context. He very methodically does the opposite.
As for that book, here's the description:
