A review of The Lincolns in the White House (Pangaeus Press, ) by Kevin Orlin Johnson

Kevin Orlin Johnson is a brilliant researcher who has doggedly pursued original source material for the truth about Abraham Lincoln. And it doesn’t matter how many libraries he has to visit and how many un-indexed collections of papers written with quill pens he has to read.

He is also an entertaining writer with a brassy style that is often confrontational, sometimes impudent and defiant, but never ever rude. Well, almost never. Still, his prose is entertaining, compelling, and humorous depending on your view.

Lincoln scholars, who Dr. Johnson dubs “Lincolnolators,” will grit their teeth when they get into the book at say, middle of page one. After that they will be well advised to locate the nearest defibrillator and read only in teams of two if they choose to continue.

So, if you want to be entertained and enlightened with the paradox that is the life and record of Lincoln as a man, attorney, and President – TLITWH is going to be your book.

What do I mean by the word paradox?

Just as the definition of the word means self-contradiction, absurdity, and impossibility – yet with a slim ray of truth seeming to shine through – so it is with the Lincoln we all know and many worship. Johnson clearly shows time and time again that the true Lincoln of the Nineteenth century is an impossible contradiction vis-à-vis the carefully packaged savior of the Union in the Twenty-first century.

Nowhere in the book is this more evident than the document ordering the sale of slaves owned by Lincoln through his wife’s inheritance in Johnson found this document in the University of Chicago library and reproduced it in his book for all to see.

Lincoln could have freed those enslaved African-Americans, as we are assured today by the Lincolnolators that he clearly would have done had he ever been in the position to do so.

But he didn’t. Apparently he believed in money more than freedom, and this has implications even today. The Lincoln worshipers – historian Gabor Boritt applies the word “Gospel” to Lincoln’s utterances – are simply wrong; and Johnson shows in dozens of ways how they don’t care if they are wrong as long as they can sustain the false façade of emancipator.

In humble adoration of Lincoln, Mario Cuomo says his life is part of “American scripture.” Yet, you see Lincoln was happy taking the monetary proceeds of the sale of human beings in bondage – whose fate was entirely in his hands – and leaving their servile condition as is. Lincolnolators say it is the context that matters about freedom and slavery, and Lincoln’s heart was in the right place in spite of his actions.

Dr. Goebbles couldn’t make this stuff up.

It gets better.

A close examination of the true causes of the Civil War reveals that the fight was not one for racial justice but rather a battle over the economic disparities between the North and the South.

In TLITWH Johnson shows that as an attorney Lincoln represented slave owners who wanted to recover their runaway slaves. The Great Emancipator brought shackles with him to the courthouse to ensure the slaves were properly returned to their owner. Why does this matter? It doesn’t to the Lincoln scholars who rationalize the behavior of the Sixteenth President.

So, you have the man who happily started the bloodiest war in world history up until (in terms of battle deaths), ostensibly to free slaves that he could have, but didn’t free just a decade earlier. I wonder if the slaves Lincoln sold survived to see their freedom in ?

Johnson proves that Lincoln’s actions were not dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. It was dedicated to the proposition that, “I want my money.”

TLITWH is filled with other stories about the Lincolns you have never heard of, or stories you are familiar with that are corrected about degrees opposite of what you learned in school and in traditional Lincoln literature.

All are based on meticulous original research that cannot be refuted – only ignored.

At pages this book could easily be made into three volumes, making the size and scope of each a bit more manageable for even the dedicated reader. Nevertheless, everyone who is not in a state of self-delusion about Lincoln will want to read and retain this book as a valuable resource.
