BOOK DESCRIPTION:
As we learn in this little book, far from being an inhumane slave owner and trader, Forrest granted most of his servants their freedom even before Lincoln’s War. Others he enlisted in his own command (half of dozen who served as his personal guards), then emancipated them in the fall of 1863 - the same year Lincoln issued his “military measure,” the fake and illegal Emancipation Proclamation (which freed no slaves in either the North or the South).
Forrest never separated servant families, refused to sell to cruel slavers, and was even responsible for reuniting several divided black families. Unlike Lincoln - who throughout his life repeatedly blocked black civil rights and aggressively campaigned for American apartheid and the deportation of all blacks out of the U.S. - after the War Forrest happily hired back his original servants with full civil rights, then called for the South to repopulate herself with new African immigrants.
Neither the founder or leader of the KKK as pro-North and New South historians disingenuously teach, Forrest closed the anti-Yankee organization down when it began to take on racist overtones.
These and many other captivating facts are presented clearly and concisely by Seabrook, a cousin of Forrest, in this tourist-friendly, rousing defense of the Wizard of the Saddle, one of the greatest, most inspiring, beloved, romantic, complex, and intriguing figures in American history.
Written for the general market, Nathan Bedford Forrest is the first of Seabrook’s six books on the General, and is one of our top sellers. Lavishly illustrated and formatted in an easy-to-read style.

Winner of the Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal. In this refreshingly positive appraisal of Forrest, widely acclaimed as Seabrook's "masterpiece," he corrects the many falsehoods about the General, and, using well researched documentation, shows that the modern negative image of him derives almost solely from slanderous myths created 150 years ago by Lincoln’s anti-South propaganda machine.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Neatly divided into five sections for each year of Lincoln’s War, as the subtitle indicates, the book encompasses all of the General’s military correspondence, from 1861 to 1865. In the 300 fascinating footnoted entries included, we find Forrest’s reports, dispatches, orders, returns, letters, notes, communiques, and telegrams, as he himself wrote or dictated them, usually from the battlefield. His missives were sent out to a wide assortment of Civil War figures, from the president of the Confederacy (Jefferson Davis) and fellow Confederate officers to his Yankee enemies, most of the communications with the latter which ended with unsurprising results: immediate surrender!
Through Forrest’s own words, we are able to track not only the progress of the War, but his rise from private to lieutenant general (one rank shy of full general)—the only man on either side to achieve such a feat. Included along with a bibliography and an index are such extras as a historical time line of the highlights of Forrest’s life, a list of all of Forrest’s engagements, and a section on his recognition by the Confederate Congress.
Like the author’s other five works on Forrest, Give ’Em Hell Boys! (named after one of his most famous war cries) will help destroy the many anti-South myths surrounding the General, giving him back his rightful place as a lauded American icon. Learn about both Forrest the man and the Rebel officer from the great Confederate chieftain himself, in this captivating read that is sure to become a standard in Civil War literature

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Among the nearly 140 footnoted quotes included here are Forrest’s thoughts on warfare, military rules, West Point graduates, education, friendship, and even drinking, gambling, cussing, and morality. Seabrook, the author of the popular bestseller, A Rebel Born: A Defense of Nathan Bedford Forrest, has also included excerpts from newspaper interviews, Forrest’s postwar appearance before the U.S. Joint Select Committee, and numerous examples of the General’s personal notes and letters and, of course, his military dispatches and reports. Much of what Forrest said was never written down but was recorded from the memory of those who associated with him. Particularly poignant is the inclusion of Forrest’s black equal rights speech to the Independent Order of Pole Bearers, the forerunner of the modern NAACP, chronicled by a local reporter.
From the General’s own words we learn that he was not an “illiterate inbred hillbilly,” a “monstrous racist,” or a “cruel and violent slave owner,” as the North and New South disingenuously continue to preach. Quite the opposite. He was not only, as Confederate General Richard Taylor said of him, a “tender-hearted, kindly man,” he was also a true Southern gentleman, a fair and compassionate Rebel officer, a successful businessman, and a faithful husband who loved children, protected women, and gave charitably to war veterans, orphans, and widows. A conservative Southerner and a staunch supporter of states’ rights who freed his slaves years before Abraham Lincoln issued his fraudulent Emancipation Proclamation, unlike the North, Forrest stood firmly behind our country’s most sacred document, the Constitution—before, during, and after Lincoln’s War.
The Quotable Nathan Bedford Forrest is a brief but important work that, like Seabrook’s other five books on the General, will introduce him to new readers, help destroy the numerous absurd and slanderous Northern myths surrounding him, and bring him out of the shadows and into the mainstream of American history where he justly belongs. Obscured for the past 150 years,
now discover the real man for yourself—in his own words.

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK:
Amazon.com Review - 5 Stars
Nathan Bedford Forrest is one of those characters in history who is constantly either misunderstood or intentionally misinterpreted. As he has done in his previous works on Forrest, Lochlainn Seabrook corrects the misinformation about this great Confederate general, and in the best way possible - using the general's own words. After reading this book, you will no longer view Ol' Bedford as a mean racist, but as a true American hero." -Andrew Murdaugh

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
To aid us in better understanding the stunning power of Robert E. Lee’s life, Mr. Seabrook has gathered together nearly 400 footnoted quotes by the General’s 19th-Century contemporaries, including both his admirers and his former Northern enemies.

Lee, is divided into convenient chapters, covering everything from Lee’s birth, childhood, and family life, to his service in both the U.S. military and the C.S. military, as well as his time as president of Washington College (now Washington and Lee University).
We also learn about the General’s earliest known French and English ancestors, his royal bloodline through William the Conqueror, Stratford Hall (Lee’s birthplace) and Arlington House (the Lee-Custis family estate), and the etymology of the Lee surname. Seabrook’s personal notes and the numerous Victorian illustrations lend historical context, helping make this Civil War Sesquicentennial Edition an indispensable work for all those interested in Lincoln's War, Confederate history, and Southern culture.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Ask the average American who their favorite Civil War general is and you will invariably get the name of the blue-coated Union military hero Ulysses S. Grant. Victorian Yankees loved him so much they put his face on their fifty-dollar bill and made him president of the United States—twice. We in the South, however, prefer our Civil War generals in Confederate gray, and none wore it better, or more nobly and prouder, than Robert E. Lee.
While we often learn about famous individuals through dry encyclopedic entries, overly detailed history books, and massively long biographies, in Seabrook’s The Quotable Robert E. Lee we get to know “Marse Robert”—and even relive the Civil War—through his own words, notes, aphorisms, letters, speeches, and field reports. Discover the real Robert E. Lee in the role of son, brother, husband, father, friend, devout Christian, Mexican-American War vet, Civil War general, and president of Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) in this information-packed read.
Includes nearly 400 footnoted quotes, a time line of Lee’s life and accomplishments, a Lee family tree, unusual Lee family facts, Lee’s plan for emancipating and enlisting slaves, a bibliography, and dozens of rare photos and images. The author’s copious and detailed notes provide excellent context to the wealth of Lee material. A companion to Seabrook’s equally important work, "The Old Rebel: Robert E. Lee As He Was Seen By His Contemporaries", The Quotable Robert E. Lee is the only book of its kind, and is sure to become a Southern classic and a standard in the field of American history.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
According to the typical pro-North history book, General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson was a humorless slave-owner, a mediocre Confederate general, and a traitor to the United States, who fought to preserve slavery and take over the U.S. government. Here in the South we know that nothing could be further from the truth. Actually Jackson was a fun-loving father and husband, a superb military officer, and a non-slave owning Unionist who detested slavery and joined the Confederate army to preserve the original Constitution. But you needn’t take our word for it.
Popular award-winning Southern author Lochlainn Seabrook, a cousin of Jackson, has compiled over 500 footnoted quotes by the General, culminating in a one-of-a-kind work that refutes even his harshest critics. The Quotable Stonewall Jackson: Selections From the Writings and Speeches of the South’s Most Famous General, profusely illustrated with rare photos and illustrations, covers all of the salient points of Jackson’s short but amazing life. It includes examples of his private letters, his military dispatches, and his personal views on everything from government, the military, the Union, and slavery, to secession, marriage, child rearing, and education.
Discover the real “Old Jack,” as his soldiers lovingly called Stonewall, in his own words in this biographical tour de force encompassing the years 1824 to 1863. Here Seabrook takes the reader from Jackson's Huckleberry Finn-like days as a runaway orphan on the Mississippi River, to his youthful struggles at West Point; from his danger-filled exploits in the Mexican-American War, to his well earned professorship at the Virginia Military Institute; from his two dramatic marriages and three children, to his mortal wounding by friendly fire at the Battle of Chancellorsville. Also included is a time line of Jackson’s life, a list of his Civil War engagements, a Jackson family tree, unusual facts about the General, a bibliography, and several letters written by his second wife, Mary Anna Morrison.
The author’s copious and detailed notes provide excellent context to the abundance of Jacksonian material. The sixth book in Seabrook’s “Quotable” series, This is the only book of its kind, and is sure to become a Southern classic and a standard in the field of American history.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Written for ages 8-12 (grades 2-6), the book is conveniently divided into six sections and thirty-seven chapters, and covers all of the salient facts and events of the War. Included are chapters on the causes that led up to the conflict, the real origins of American slavery, the truth about Southern slavery, the start of the War, the secession of the Southern states, descriptions of significant battles, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln’s criminal behavior, black and Indian Confederates, Robert E. Lee’s surrender, the everyday life of a Confederate soldier, and Confederate weaponry. Seabrook also provides detailed information on the many suppressed elements of the War, including discussions on the Constitution, politics, and American history, covering "politically incorrect" facts that your child will never hear in school.
Profusely illustrated (with black and white pictures that can be colored), this children’s version of Seabrook’s blockbuster, Everything You Were Taught About the Civil Is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!, explodes the Northern fairy tales that were created to hide the Truth about the War for Southern Independence and the countless atrocities committed by the Union.
This book is the result of some twenty years of study and research that will not only help educate your child about the real Civil War, it will also teach them about the traditional values that have always been so important here in Dixie: a love of God, country, and family, respect for our Southern heritage, pride in our Confederate history, and a reverence for our Southern ancestors. Adults will benefit from reading Seabrook’s South-friendly book as well, especially non-Southerners who are interested in learning more about the Southern view of Lincoln’s War. Includes a comprehensive glossary, index, and bibliography. Foreword is by Al Benson Jr., publisher of the Copperhead Chronicle, former editor of The Christian Educator, and author of Lincoln's Marxists (with Walter D. Kennedy).
Like many of Seabrook’s two dozen other books on the War, Honest Jeff and Dishonest Abe is destined to become a standard in American literature.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
This well-researched work, a companion to Seabrook’s The Alexander H. Stephens Reader, provides nearly 700 footnoted entries that reveal the authentic man, one completely opposite of the negative image of Stephens fabricated by enemies of the South. Known as one of America’s most kindly and charitable individuals, he was a true friend of the black man, as well as a pro-Unionist who at first campaigned against Southern secession. Also a brilliant thinker, spell-binding orator, and prodigious author, he was, in fact, one of history’s most extraordinary, interesting, honorable, and noble figures.
Follow Stephens in his own words, as he takes us through the development of the U.S. after the American Revolution, and into the growing bitter sectionalism between the South and the North in the 1840s and 1850s. Get a you-are-there view of the entire “Civil War,” from the disastrous election of big government Liberal Abraham Lincoln in November 1860, to the tragic fall of the Confederacy and Stephens’ illegal imprisonment in the Spring of 1865. Follow the frail but feisty Georgia governor—who turned down offers to run for both U.S. president and C.S. president—from so-called “Reconstruction” and the rebuilding of the South (which he helped direct), through the postwar administrations of Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, and Chester A. Arthur.
Along the way, not only do we learn the true cause behind Lincoln’s War, but Stephens also lays out the facts concerning Southern slavery and his “Cornerstone” speech, while forcefully defending the constitutional right of secession. Follow the lifelong bachelor-politician (who served in the U.S. government, in one capacity or another, from President Andrew Jackson to President Chester A. Arthur, a span of forty-seven years) as he discloses his everyday thoughts and personal opinions on everything from the weather and dogs to self-government and states’ rights, in this profusely illustrated one-of-a-kind book that is sure to become a standard in Southern literature.
With the publication of The Quotable Alexander H. Stephens, the anti-South movement’s vicious slander against “Little Aleck,” as he was lovingly known to his relatives, friends and constituents, is now powerless. Thanks to Mr. Seabrook, Alexander H. Stephens has finally been fully redeemed.
The author is the winner of the Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Mr. Seabrook’s unique work provides us with something of inestimable value: TheTruth about Lincoln’s War on the South and the Constitution. From Stephens’ own pen and lips we get not only a rare look at the Southern perspective of the War, but also the governmental history of the formation of our great “Confederated Republic,” as George Washington called the U.S.A. We also learn of the Founding Fathers’ struggle to forge a workable constitution, the early battle between Southern conservatives and Northern liberals over the ideas of limited and big government, and the honest facts about slavery, the Confederate and Union Causes, and the American “Civil War”—our country's second Revolutionary War of Secession.
At the end of Chapter Thirty, the reader is left with only one conclusion; the very one that strict constitutionalists Stephens, a brilliant lawyer, writer, and orator, spent the entire last half of his life evangelizing: because secession literally gave birth to the U.S.A. in 1776 and is tacitly guaranteed in the Constitution (Tenth Amendment), it is still legal to this day. Thus, the “Civil War” was an illicit and unwarranted conflict and Abraham Lincoln was a war criminal.
The Alexander H. Stephens Reader, destined to become a classic in its field, will forever change the way you look at American history, the Confederacy, the Union, the War, the U.S. Constitution, and Confederate Vice President Stephens himself. The Introduction is by Charles Kelly Barrow, Lieutenant Commander-in-Chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and author of Black Confederates.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Mr. Seabrook’s unique work provides us with something of inestimable value: TheTruth about Lincoln’s War on the South and the Constitution. From Stephens’ own pen and lips we get not only a rare look at the Southern perspective of the War, but also the governmental history of the formation of our great “Confederated Republic,” as George Washington called the U.S.A. We also learn of the Founding Fathers’ struggle to forge a workable constitution, the early battle between Southern conservatives and Northern liberals over the ideas of limited and big government, and the honest facts about slavery, the Confederate and Union Causes, and the American “Civil War”—our country's second Revolutionary War of Secession.
At the end of Chapter Thirty, the reader is left with only one conclusion; the very one that strict constitutionalists Stephens, a brilliant lawyer, writer, and orator, spent the entire last half of his life evangelizing: because secession literally gave birth to the U.S.A. in 1776 and is tacitly guaranteed in the Constitution (Tenth Amendment), it is still legal to this day. Thus, the “Civil War” was an illicit and unwarranted conflict and Abraham Lincoln was a war criminal.
The Alexander H. Stephens Reader, destined to become a classic in its field, will forever change the way you look at American history, the Confederacy, the Union, the War, the U.S. Constitution, and Confederate Vice President Stephens himself. The Introduction is by Charles Kelly Barrow, Lieutenant Commander-in-Chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and author of Black Confederates.
Lochlainn Seabrook is the winner of the Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Who was America’s most important Civil War president? For those of us who live in the South it wasn’t Abraham Lincoln, it was Jefferson Davis. If you’re not as familiar with Davis as you are with Lincoln, it’s not surprising: when the Northern victors rewrote the history of the Civil War, they glorified liberal Lincoln while all but ignoring conservative Davis.
In this one-of-a-kind Civil War Sesquicentennial Edition, The Quotable Jefferson Davis, award-winning author, Southern historian, and Davis family relation Lochlainn Seabrook brings the Rebel leader’s suppressed and forgotten words and ideas back to life; traditional American beliefs that were once ardently embraced by over half the United States, and much of Europe as well. Included here, among some 300 footnoted entries, are Davis’ core views on government, the Constitution, the Union, the Confederacy, states' rights, slavery, secession, his presidency, the War, the Southern people, Lincoln, Yankees, Reconstruction, and more.
Though brief, this is a significant work that should be required reading in every American home and school. For with the original intention of the Founding Fathers having been lost (that, in Davis’ words, “sovereignty is inherent in the people”), and with the central government continuing to enlarge on a daily basis, this book’s powerful message and revolutionary contents are now more topical than at any time since Davis took office in 1861.
The author is the winner of the Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal.

"This is a book every Civil War buff - pro-North or pro-South - should have because it reveals in Jefferson Davis' own words what he truly believed about the War, the Constitution, and life in the Old South. Instead of having conventional historians interpret what the CSA's first and only President was like, read this book and find out what Davis really said." - Andrew Murdaugh

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Patterned on the Constitution of the United States of America, the Constitution of the Confederate States of America was written during February and March 1861 by a committee of twelve Southern political leaders, whose states had recently seceded from the Union. A revolutionary document then as now, its writers and supporters hoped the CS Constitution would continue the conservative values of America’s first and purest constitution, the Articles of Confederation, which had been penned expressly for the new United States of America—officially known as the “Confederacy” from 1781 to 1789. Thus, in March 1861, the Southern Founding Fathers naturally named their new country the “Confederacy.”
Though the CS Constitution has long been unfairly relegated to the historical scrap heap by liberals and the pro-North movement, in truth it is more relevant today than it was at the time of its inception, on the eve of Lincoln’s illegal and unnecessary war against states’ rights. For the US government has grown into a monstrous tyrannical body that would not even be recognizable by its own founders—men who intentionally filled the US Constitution with countless restrictions to prevent this very type of out-of-control expansion.
In an effort to remind us of what we have lost, as well as what we might regain in the future, award-winning author and Southern historian Lochlainn Seabrook has brought this important document back to life in his educational new book The Constitution of the Confederate States of America Explained. After a brief introduction concerning the history of the CS Constitution, Mr. Seabrook takes the reader on an enlightening journey of discovery through every one of the document’s 103 clauses. Arcane and often undecipherable 18th- and 19th-Century wording is explained in plain English, while the Constitution’s numerous political provisions are laid out in simple terms that both the scholar and the layperson will appreciate. An in-depth index and bibliography are included. This is a small but truly significant work that is sure to change the way you look at the Confederacy, the US government, and our three American Constitutions.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
If we're to believe the nearly 20,000 books that have been written about President Lincoln by pro-North historians, he was an ardent abolitionist, a Bible-believing Christian, and a Constitution-loving conservative who headed the most ethical administration in U.S. history, preserved the Union, ended American slavery, and became the black man's greatest champion by granting him full civil and equal rights. In fact, according to Lincoln's own words, nothing could be further from the truth.
After reading this eye-opening book, you'll be asking yourself the question: Why then does Lincoln continue to be annually voted America's "best," "favorite," and "most important" president by people of all ages, races, religions, and political persuasions? The answer—well-known to Southerners for the past 150 years—is that the real Lincoln has been carefully concealed from us by his faithful worshipers, the Lincolnites, some who are simply uninformed, others who will stop at nothing to keep you from learning the facts about our sixteenth chief executive and his unconstitutional, unnecessary, and unjustifiable war.
In this handy Civil War Sesquicentennial Edition of The Unquotable Abraham Lincoln, award-winning author and Southern historian Lochlainn Seabrook closely examines the politically incorrect statements they don't want you to know. Included here, among some 230 footnoted entries, are Lincoln's controversial, even UN-American, views on his presidency, the government, the U.S. Constitution, states' rights, the Union, his war on the South, abolition, slavery, colonization, African-Americans, Mexicans, "mulatto's," the Confederacy, the Southern people, his Emancipation Proclamation, Jesus, the Bible, Christianity, and more. This is an indispensable work for those interested in the American Civil War, for without a true and complete understanding of Lincoln one will never have a true and complete understanding of the conflict itself.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
There are two Abraham Lincolns: Lincoln the political celebrity, whose image has been carefully crafted by Lincoln scholars, biographers, and mythographers, and the true Lincoln, whose actual words are almost completely unknown to the general public. Why are they not known? Because they have been concealed, ignored, or misconstrued by Lincoln apologists. In some cases they have even actually been destroyed. Lincoln’s business associates, family members, and personal friends, for example, intentionally burned many of his writings.
What is it that Lincoln devotees are so afraid of, and why have they been so careful to bury all traces of the real man? The reason is simple. Exposing the hidden but authentic Lincoln would uncover both his criminal behavior and the illegalities of his war on the South in 1861. In his stunning new 1,050-page work, Lincolnology — the only study ever undertaken on the president’s suppressed, misinterpreted, and forgotten writings and speeches — Southern historian and award-winning author Lochlainn Seabrook seeks to replace these pages so nefariously torn from our American history books.
The result of ten years of careful research, Mr. Seabrook opens up the long sealed vaults of Lincoln’s works, disclosing what few have dared contemplate let alone utter. Far from being our “greatest president,” Lincoln shows himself to be a raging war criminal who violently tried to Northernize the South, an unrestrained demagogue who fixed the 1860 and 1864 elections, a tax-and-spend liberal who sought to install big government, and a dictatorial megalomaniac who wished to overturn the Constitution. Far from being the “Great Emancipator,” his writings and speeches portray a man who was a white racialist and supremacist, one who promoted American apartheid, stalled the Emancipation Proclamation, consistently blocked black civil rights, violently forced blacks into his armies, barred blacks from entering the White House, used slave labor to construct federal buildings (like the U.S. Capitol), used profits from Northern slavery to fund his war, sanctioned atrocities against both the Southern and the Northern people, and plotted his entire adult life to have all African-Americans, as he phrased it, “sent back to their own native land.”
With nearly 2,000 footnotes and a 1,000-book bibliography, this well documented 400,000-word volume will forever alter the way America views its sixteenth chief executive. This special Civil War Sesquicentennial Edition includes an exhaustive index and provocative in-depth chapters on everything Lincolnian, from his war crimes, political outrages, anti-South Reconstruction plans, black colonization efforts, and atheism, to his real views on race, secession, the Constitution, and abolition. Also included are photographs of Lincoln, his cabinet, and his military chiefs.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
If you think Abraham Lincoln was a likeable person, think again! The truth is that unless you're a dictator, a socialist, a racist, a warmonger, an outlaw, a sexist, or a left-wing progressive, you won't find much about him that's admirable.
Our 19th-Century American ancestors would certainly have agreed with this assessment. This is why, after all, they voted him the worst U.S. president up until that time, and it's why even his own party members and military officers called him a "tyrant," "swindler," "monster," "buffoon," "butcher," "fiend," the "original gorilla," “filthy story-teller,” "robber," "braggart," "liar," "usurper," "ignoramus," "scoundrel," "well-meaning baboon," and "that damned idiot in the White House!"
Naturally the Lincoln-loving, liberal controlled media and educational system would rather you not know any of this. For those who are interested in the truth, award-winning Southern author, historian, and Lincoln scholar Lochlainn Seabrook has written The Great Impersonator! 99 Reasons to Dislike Abraham Lincoln. Here, among Seabrook's 99 well researched footnoted entries, you will find stunning little known facts about our sixteenth chief executive, facts that have been buried for 150 years beneath a mountain of Northern mythology. Why were they concealed?
Because exposing the real man exposes the truth that his liberal devotees are still trying so hard to suppress: President Lincoln waged an illegal war on the Constitution and states' rights; he invaded a legally formed foreign nation (the Confederacy) that only wished to be left alone; he committed countless brutal crimes against both unarmed American citizens and his own soldiers; and he campaigned his entire life to have all American blacks "sent back to Africa, to their own native land," as he so inelegantly put it. Never heard of any of this? Now you know why Mr. Seabrook rightly calls him, not the Great Emancipator, but the Great Impersonator!
Get the inside scoop on the authentic Abraham Lincoln in this, Seabrook's fourth work on the big government liberal who intentionally surrounded himself with Marxists, gangsters, anti-abolitionists, and fellow white supremacists and separatists. Discover the real reason he was called "Honest Abe," why he referred to all non-whites as "inferior races," and why when it came to blacks, former Northern slave Frederick Douglass said that Lincoln was missing “the genuine spark of humanity."

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Nearly everything you’ve been taught about Abraham Lincoln comes from pro-North authors and publishers. But if you want to know who he really was, you’ll need to read about him from the South’s perspective.
In Abraham Lincoln: The Southern View, award-winning author and Lincoln scholar Lochlainn Seabrook provides an in-depth look at our sixteenth president as seen through the eyes of Dixie. Revealed is a man completely unknown to most Americans, both North and South; an unscrupulous demagogue and anti-Christian liberal who broke hundreds of laws; ignored and even subverted the Constitution; used money from the Yankee slave trade to fund his war; sanctioned the murder of both Southern blacks (who would not enlist in the Union army) and harmless Southern noncombatants (including women and children); had tens of thousands of innocent Northerners arrested, imprisoned, and sometimes tortured and executed without charge or trial; rigged the 1860 and 1864 elections; confiscated and destroyed private property; censored governmental debate over secession; and more. Throughout all of this Southern historians like Mr. Seabrook estimate that some 3 million Americans, of all races, died in direct consequence of his actions.
While he publicly declared that his goal was to “preserve the Union,” he actually destroyed it. And when he later tried to alter the character of the War with his fake and illegal Emancipation Proclamation, he was formulating plans behind closed doors to deport all blacks out of America, “back to their native land,” as he phrased it earlier on August 21, 1858. Lincoln’s true agenda, as Mr. Seabrook shows, was to demolish the idea of states’ rights in the South and install big government in the North. And, as the staunch supporter of American apartheid himself stated repeatedly, he was willing to do this with or without ending slavery.
With nearly 3,000 footnotes and a 1,000-book bibliography, this, the fourth revised Civil War Sesquicentennial edition of Abraham Lincoln: The Southern View, is an important, well documented work that will appeal to all those interested in authentic U.S. and Confederate history. You will never lo ncoln or his War the same way again. The Foreword is by Clint Johnson, author of the bestseller The Politically Incorrect Guide to the South (and Why It Will Rise Again).
Mr. Seabrook is the recipient of the Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Used as a Confederate field hospital during the Battle of Franklin II in the fall of 1864, Carnton Plantation played a vital role in the American War for Southern Independence. Nearly 2,000 Confederate soldiers died in and around the home, leaving a psychic imprint of death, violence, fear, pain, and terror etched into its very walls. The result is that today Carnton is not only one of the nation’s most important historic homes, it is also Tennessee’s most haunted Civil War house.
Southern historian and award-winning Tennessee author Lochlainn Seabrook has assembled over a dozen authentic ghost stories associated with Carnton Plantation in an absorbing book that includes a brief history of the home, a Southern look at the Civil War, the family tree of its founders the McGavocks, over 100 illustrations, a “Ghostly Glossary,” a comprehensive index and bibliography, suggestions on how to help preserve America’s unique Southern heritage, and a complete list of the dead buried at the McGavock Confederate Cemetery in Franklin, Tennessee.
Written for all ages, Carnton Plantation Ghost Stories is entertaining yet educational, diverting yet gripping, a book that everyone from ghost-hunters to Civil War buffs will want on their shelf. It’s one of our top sellers, not only at bookstores, but at Civil War sites, historic house gift shops, and museum stores.
