Apparently DiLorenzo, refuses to support Beowulf and it turns out Hitler's idea's are closer to Beowulf's than ours and, of course, it turns out that Beowulf and Lincoln are soulmates, in their belief that Revolution and Secession are the same (at least concerning the CW). |

To date, after six years of immersion into this realm, and era, I have yet to hear anything like Cash has produced.
The settled beliefs circulating are that Trade Tariff Taxes were predominantly paid by the South, that Lincoln sought to challenge trade at Sumter, and defend Northern economy. Slavery was an abolitionist problem, and one that became a grand excuse later in the war, when emancipation by Lincoln, carried out as a military agenda,
was employed (and which is generally thought to have failed).
There is great back and forth on these issues, but that is the generally-accepted rhetoric one hears at these events.
Some take Slavery as the main reasoning, and some
take Taxation and Invasion as the primary catalysts.
What Cash suggests boggles the mind, when one takes it as truth. Lincoln, then, had absolutely no reason for being at Sumter, nor refusing to follow the advice of his cabinet,
nor Major Anderson, nor the majority of the United States opinion, at that time (save for his Northern capitalists, who stood to lose a bundle). I am at a loss for words, at the moment.
And, as Cash declines any sources save his own, it is rather difficult to have a conversation. He posits that most of my sources are "liars", out of hand.
I am thinking on having Cash list his books for me, so I
can start my own investigation into them.
His books certainly are not the settled order of discussion at reenactments and living histories!
I am wondering why they are not!
