The Last Good Democrat by Thomas DiLorenzo

The Last Good Democrat by Thomas DiLorenzo

I like the way DiLorenzo starts this off: After the War to Prevent Southern Independence and the assassination of Lincoln the federal government was said to possess a "treasury of virtue."

If you haven't read Thomas J. DiLorenzo's The Real Lincoln, it's a wonderful, eye-opening account into the behind the scenes of Civil War Government and Politics.
