Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists: Marxism in the Civil War

Was Abraham Lincoln influenced by communism when the Union condemned the rights of Southern states to express their independence? It’s shocking to think so. 
 But that’s precisely what Walter D. Kennedy and Al Benson Jr. assert in Red Republicans and Lincoln’s Marxists. The pair completely reassess this tumultuous time in American history, exposing the “politically correct” view of the War for Southern Independence as nothing less than the same observation announced by Marx himself. During the American Civil War, Marx wrote about his support of the Union Army, the Republican Party, and Lincoln himself. In fact, he named the president as “the single-minded son of the working class.” In addition to shedding light on this little-known part of our history, Kennedy and Benson also ask pertinent questions about the validity of today’s federal government and why its role seems so much larger than the liberty found in the states it represents.
 Red Republicans and Lincoln’s Marxists is a bold undertaking, but it’s one that needs our immediate and absolute attention.

From the authors of THE SOUTH WAS RIGHT comes a new edition of what one historian calls one of the most important and original histories of the Southern people. PUNISHED WITH POVERTY tells the unvarnished story of the intentional policy of economic devastation and exploitation of the South which has affected all Southerners, both black and white, long after the close of the "Civil War" and "Reconstruction." In fact, the sad legacy of these punitive policies continues to this very day. The over-arching theme of Southern history is not Race, as is conventionally stated, but Poverty-poverty not due to the South's shortcomings but imposed on them by the system under which they live.PUNISHED WITH POVERTY is a timely and much needed contribution to the understanding of both the South and the nature of the "Federal Empire" under which all Americans now live.COMMENTS ON PUNISHED WITH POVERTY"If enough Southerners would read and take to heart Punished with Poverty, it would bring about a revolution in American politics." - Dr. Clyde N. Wilson, author, publisher, and "Godfather" of Southern History"Long known for their intellectual fearlessness, the best-selling authors of The South Was Right examine the roots of Southern poverty and the continuing struggle between the Southern culture-Bible believing, conservative and pro-Constitution-and the Federal Empire, which seeks to expand its power and stifle and restrict individual liberty at every opportunity. This eye-opening book focuses on the economic aspects of that struggle (but not exclusively) and should be required reading in every American history course in this country. . ." - Dr. Samuel Mitcham, author of It Wasn't About Slavery: Exposing the Great Lie of the Civil War and The Greatest Lynching in American History: New York 1863"As the Kennedy's have explained in this impressive book, the Confederate dead were not the only Southerners buried by the War. Lincoln's 'New America' foisted years of poverty on the South and her people, which is why for generations more Southerners considered Reconstruction a greater calamity than the War itself. This book will certainly open your eyes." - Brion McClanahan, Ph.D, author of Southern Scribblings and 9 Presidents Who Screwed Up America"The numerous photographs of Southern sharecroppers in grinding poverty, malnourished and disease-ridden, along with dirty ragged children, are heart-wrenching. Punished with Poverty shows that their suffering was the deliberate policy of the Federal Government controlled by Northerners who had made their intentions toward the South clear from the beginning: 'We mean to conquer them, Subjugate them, ' make them 'find poverty at their firesides, and see privation in the anxious eyes of mothers and the rags of children.' This book is thoroughly researched and documented and it corrects many egregious untruths promoted by the politically correct. It is a lively read with a strong bibliography and valuable addenda. It greatly enhances one's understanding of the causes of the War Between the States, and the enormous suffering in its aftermath." - Gene Kizer, Jr, author of Slavery Was Not the Cause of the War Between the States, The Irrefutable Argument

The struggle to convey correct information about the War for Southern Independence to Americans in general and to Southerners in particular became the inspiration for this book. It is hoped The Confederate Myth-Buster will answer many questions which have surfaced since the original publication of our first book, The South Was Right!
It is hoped with the publication of The Confederate Myth-Buster, and the other Kennedy Twins’ books, Americans, both from the North and from the South, will wake up to the dangers posed by an all-powerful and unlimited big government. After the defeat of the South, Vice President Alexander Stephens of the Confederate States of America noted, “The Cause of the South is the Cause of us all.”

Confederate Myth-Buster

In 1866, the year after the War for Southern Independence, General Robert E. Lee reflected on the results of the war. Responding to a British historian, he wrote that he feared that the U.S. would now follow the path of all consolidated governments. It would become "aggressive abroad and despotic at home." It was as accurate a prophecy as has ever been made. "Unfortunately, for the people of the South and the world," write the Kennedys in their latest groundbreaking book, "General Lee's prediction has become our reality."The South was the first "captive nation" of the Yankee Empire. The authors show, with chapter and verse, how that empire of greed and phony moralism, after the conquest of Dixie, became continuingly "aggressive abroad," bringing the U.S. to its now imperial posture. The Kennedys' work in YANKEE EMPIRE is inspired by the history and condition of their Southern homeland, but it is stunningly "relevant" reading for anyone concerned about the dubious role of the U.S. in the world today. The Kennedys continue to be the bravest and most eloquent defenders of the South in their many books. This work ranks with their best-selling THE SOUTH WAS RIGHT! and their recently published PUNISHED WITH POVERTY, as an original and compelling revision of American history.

Yankee Empire: Aggressive Abroad and Despotic At Home

ALTHOUGH MANY CONSERVATIVE Evangelical ministers and leaders enthusiastically pronounce Abraham Lincoln as a devout Christian, the evidence to the contrary is immense. The transformation of Lincoln from a secular humanist Freethinker into a faithful Christian is one of the most successful con-games in American history. Beginning with George Washington to the current President (2023), every United States President has a confirmed church affiliation except Lincoln. At the same time, the only United States Supreme Court Justice that does not have a confirmed church affiliation is Justice David Davis, appointed by Lincoln. The previous statement about Lincoln may be hard to believe but within the pages of this small book Lincoln's lack of orthodox Christian views are fully exposed by his wife, law partner, personal secretary, bodyguard, and many other people who were closely associated with LincolnThis book also proves that Lincoln wage war upon the South like a pagan leader. A Christian leader would not have waged war upon innocent women, children, and helpless older Southerners. As will be demonstrated withing these pages, Lincoln was the first U. S. President with a communist in his cabinet and the only U. S. President to have been lauded by both Karl Marx and Adolph Hitler.
