Via Nancy
"Throughout the South are Lamentations and tears; in every country on
the globe where there are lovers of liberty there is mourning; wherever
there are men who love heroic patriotism, dauntless resolution,
fortitude or intellectual power, there is an sincere sorrowing. The
beloved of our land, the unfaltering upholder of constitutional liberty,
the typical hero and sage, is no more; the fearless heart that beats
with sympathy for all mankind is stilled forever, a great light is
gone
----Jefferson Davis is dead!"
Abraham Lincoln,
his administration, and members of the U.S. Congress committed treason
when they levied war against the Southern states in 1861-1865. This
fact is clearly proven by the plain words of Article 3, Section
3 of the U.S. Constitution that defines treason as follows:
"Treason
against the United States, shall consist only in
levying war against them , or in adhering to their
enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort" (emphasis added).
As in all the
founding documents, the phrase "United States" is in the
plural, signifying the free, independent and sovereign states.
The free and independent states were united in ratifying the Constitution
and delegating a few powers to the national government (Article
1, Section 8), while reserving all others for the people, respectively,
or the states, as stated in the Tenth Amendment. If the American
people were to be the masters rather than the servants of their
national government, the only way they could do so would be through
political communities organized at the state and local levels. This
of course is how the Constitution was ratified – by political conventions
of the states, as directed by Article 7 of the Constitution. Since
Lincoln never admitted that secession was legal or constitutional,
and insisted that the Southern states had never actually left the
American union, he knowingly committed treason as defined by the
Constitution by invading the Southern states.
