D'Souza takes on the claim of the political left that Republicans are the party of bigotry and racism by tracing the history of the two parties from Lincoln to the present, disproving the Democratic claim as patently false. He shows how Lincoln proved the anti-slavery views of the founders and that the Declaration of Independence by no means defends slavery or racism. D'Souza also shows that the Democratic left, developed to defend slavery, has not changed its goal of living off of a plantation system, but merely changed its tactics in attaining it. D'Souza claims that the Democratic party maintains its power by providing for blacks and other minority groups just enough to keep them in poverty and dependent on the Democratic party, thereby securing their votes.

Who is killing America? Is it really Donald Trump and a GOP filled with white supremacists? In a major new work of historical revisionism, Dinesh D'Souza makes the provocative case that Democrats are the ones killing America by turning it into a massive nanny state modeled on the Southern plantation system. This sweeping alternative history of the Democratic Party goes back to its foundations in the antebellum South. The slaveholding elite devised the plantation as a means of organizing labor and political support. It was a mini welfare state, a cradle to grave system that bred dependency and punished any urge to independence. This model impressed northern Democrats, inspiring the political machines that traded government handouts for votes from ethnic immigrant blocs. Today's Democrats have expanded to a multiracial plantation of ghettos for blacks, barrios for Latinos, and reservations for Native Americans. Whites are the only holdouts resisting full dependency, and so they are blamed for the bigotry and racial exploitation that is actually perpetrated by the left. Death of a Nation's bracing alternative vision of American history explains the Democratic Party's dark past, reinterprets the roles of figures like Van Buren, FDR and LBJ, and exposes the hidden truth that racism comes not from Trump or the conservative right but rather from Democrats and progressives on the left.

Dinesh D’Souza delivers a well sourced and essential view of US historical politics that fills in the gaps left in the popular narrative. D’Souza traces the history of slavery through the founding of the democratic party, shows how the republican party and Lincoln fought racism and slavery leading to and through the civil war, debunks the “big lie” of the two parties switching, and goes in to argue that the democratic parties racist roots continued, although with different means, through FDR, LBJ, to Obama and how it is manifested today. Whether or not you agree with his politics this is an essential read to get a better understanding of today’s political climate. ( )
