This work grew from a speech I gave on "Lincoln as Progenitor" of the twentieth-century American state at the Mises Institute's fifteenth-anniversary conference in Atlanta in November 1997.

I would also like to thank Robert Higgs, editor of The Independent Review, published by the Independent Institute of Oakland, California, for publishing my essay, "The Great Centralizer: Abraham Lincoln and the War between the States," in the July 1988 issue of the Review.
