    The Lincoln Project ad appeals to the perpetual ignorance of the masses, who are unaware of the documented statements made by Abraham Lincoln regarding black people and white people.

    Furthermore, Abraham Lincoln was the worst president in American history, having forced a completely unnecessary war, resulting in the current omnipotent centralized federal government, with its accompanying loss of Constitutional protections and inalienable rights, and the negating of state sovereignty.

    If it was treason for the Confederacy to secede from the legally established government and found their own independent nation in 1861, then was it also treason for the Founding Fathers when they seceded from the legally established government and founded their own independent nation in 1776?

    1. 32. "If you bring these [Confederate] leaders to trial it will condemn the North, for by the Constitution secession is not rebellion. Lincoln wanted Davis to escape, and he was right. His capture was a mistake. His trial will be a greater one."
      --Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, July 1867 (Foote, The Civil War, Vol. 3, p. 765)


      28. “Lincoln’s war implied, and the Gettysburg Address set to words, a firm message to the States of the Union, ‘I love you all, and if you leave me, I’ll hunt you down and kill you.’ The Address was not the sagely comments of a wise statesman, rather the vain, obsessive ranting of a power-hungry demon engaging in a blood-thirsty mission of self-aggrandizement, no matter the volume of corpses required to attain it.”
      --Lewis Goldburg

      39. “If it [the Declaration of Independence] justifies the secession from the British empire of 3,000,000 colonists in 1776, we do not see why it would not justify the secession of 5,000,000 of Southrons from the Federal Union in 1861. If we are mistaken on this point, why does not some one attempt to show wherein why?’”
      --New York Tribune, 17 December 1860
