As the U.S. election evolves today, President Trump‘s legal team, Barrister Lin Wood and prominent attorney Sidney Powell, have revealed a wealth of hard evidence of clear irregularities and foreign interference in the election. Sidney Powell has revealed overwhelming evidence of clear illegalities and foreign interference in the election. But shockingly, these lawsuits have been ignored by the U.S. courts at every level. An election controlled by fraud and conspiracy has driven the United States into division. And the nature of this crisis is even more pernicious than the one President Lincoln faced in 1860. President Trump faces a conspiracy within the entire bureaucracy and a vicious attack by the left to abandon basic moral restraints, a destruction of the traditional American value system by the forces of the far left. How to respond is not only about the future of the United States, due to its important position in the international arena, but also about the future of this world.
Let’s review the situation faced by President Abraham Lincoln and his response to it.
In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president. The long-standing conflict between the free states and the slave states finally rose to its highest point. On December 21 of the same year, South Carolina announced its withdrawal from the Union, followed by Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas.
On February 9, 1861, they formed the government of the South, the Confederate States of America, or the Confederacy for short. Jefferson Davis from Kentucky was elected as the Confederate government. Jefferson Davis from Kentucky was elected president.
On March 4 of the same year, Lincoln was inaugurated as President of the United States. At his inauguration, Lincoln stated that the Constitution was a “more desirable union” than the Articles of Confederation, which were more binding as contracts, and that secession from the Union was legally invalid. He would use force to maintain the ownership of federal property. We can understand that the original constitutionally agreed upon integrity of the nation no longer existed due to secession, so force had to be used to maintain the property belonging to the Union, that is, to keep the nation intact.
The Confederacy had sent representatives to negotiate with Washington, offering to buy all the Union property and to discuss a peace treaty with the Union. Lincoln refused any dealings with Confederate representatives on the grounds that the Confederacy was not a legitimate government.
The Civil War began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate troops opened fire on Union troops at Fort Sumter, and on April 19, secessionists controlling the railroad in Baltimore attacked Confederate troops. Important bridges and telegraph lines in the border state of Maryland were destroyed by secessionists.
By executive order, Lincoln temporarily suspended the writ of habeas corpus in some unstable areas, including Maryland, which allowed military personnel to arrest and imprison suspected secessionists without a judicial hearing, without being subject to habeas corpus.
Based on the Anti-Rebellion Act of 1807, passed during Jefferson’s presidency, Lincoln ordered the arrest of Baltimore Mayor George W. Bush. William. Brown and other suspected Maryland politicians, among thousands of others, and ordered the arrests of Congressman Henry May from Maryland, Congressman William Brown from Ohio, and Congressman Henry May from Ohio. Congressman Henry May of Maryland, Congressman Clement Vallandegaume of Ohio, and others. These men were held in military prisons without trial for “suspected Southern sympathies. Lincoln also ordered the closure of hundreds of Northern newspapers that opposed him and the arrest of newspaper publishers and editors.
A man named John Merryman of Baltimore, the capital of Maryland, was arrested for “allegedly sympathizing with the South. John Merryman of Baltimore, Maryland, was arrested by the military for rebellious activities. His attorney asked the military to produce legal documents. Commander George Cadwalder Major General George Cadwalader refused to produce any documents on the grounds of national security and military secrecy, so the lawyers went to the Federal Circuit Court.
Chief Justice Roger B. Taney received the complaint and asked General Cadwalader to bring Merriman to his courtroom in Baltimore at 11:00 p.m. the next day. General Cadwalder sent a colonel to the court. The colonel told the court that the military had charged the defendant with conspiracy to commit armed rebellion against the government, and relayed General Cadwalader’s statement that “in such cases the President of the United States is duly authorized to suspend the writ of habeas corpus for reasons of public safety. In the event of a lapse during a civil war, it is also for reasons of national security.” The colonel refused to reveal even where the Merrimans were and left the courtroom.
Taney immediately issued another subpoena charging General Cadwalder with contempt of court and demanding that General Cadwalder come to see him. The general, of course, did not see him, and even the bailiff responsible for delivering the letter was not even able to enter the door of the barracks. And Taney’s “harboring” of the Southern rebels caused a hush in the community.
Lincoln did not care for Taney’s opinion. Lincoln admitted that these tough measures were unconstitutional in peacetime, but they were constitutional “in cases of rebellion and invasion. Lincoln used a simple but impressive analogy, “Let us say that a man’s life and limbs should be preserved, and when amputation is necessary to save his life, can he give up his life for the preservation of his limbs?” It is as if the Northern Confederacy had lost the war, then this government, the country, and the Constitution itself would not have existed.
In July 1861, after a month of heated debate, Congress passed a law authorizing the president to suspend “habeas corpus” in extraordinary circumstances, with the proviso that the military could arrest and detain suspects who endangered national security, but could not court-martial them and inform the general courts of the names and circumstances of the civilians arrested. If the grand jury in the local general court declines to indict the suspect, the suspect can then ask the magistrate to order the military to turn him or her over to the general court for a hearing and release.
Merriman’s fate certainly did not change until a year later, when the federal government declared Baltimore no longer a dangerous area and the military turned him over to the Court of Common Pleas.
On March 3, 1863, Congress formally passed a habeas corpus law that authorized the president to issue national or regional cease-and-desist writs of habeas corpus during rebellions when public safety required it. In other words, during extraordinary times, the president could exercise prerogatives that exceeded the Constitution.
The Civil War lasted four years and caused a total of 610,000 American casualties. But the tragic war resulted in the return of a whole United States of America. And for more than 100 years, the country grew to become the most powerful nation in the world, with the responsibility of maintaining world peace and prosperity.
The intensification of the North-South conflicts in the United States back then led to the division of the country. But at their root, these conflicts stemmed from internal American disputes over economic interests and spheres of power. Both sides were not as despicable in character as the socialist far-left forces of today, and both shared a belief in God. It can be said that they were gentlemen’s disputes. The states were following a legal process to participate in the presidential election, and if they lost, they left; if they couldn’t negotiate, they fought, and if they couldn’t fight, they conceded defeat. America is still America. That’s why the Southern armies are still respected after defeat and those famous Southern generals are still considered heroes by the American people.
And today the socialist far-left forces are stealing the entire country by fraud in the U.S. election, which is much more serious in nature than when a few southern states divided America. How do those who directed or actually operated the vote fraud, those who were primarily responsible for knowing that there was election fraud but turning a blind eye, covering it up, deliberately delaying and failing to act, compare to the Confederate spies who were active within the Union at that time.
Lawsuits regarding election fraud have been dismissed at all levels of court, let’s take just the Texas lawsuit as an example. Texas sued Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin in the Supreme Court, alleging that their practice of changing election regulations to allow mail-in ballots without the consent of the state legislature was unconstitutional and also hurt the equal legal right of voters in Texas and other law-abiding states to vote, seeking to nullify the election results in those four states. This lawsuit was then upheld by 17 states.
However, on Dec. 11, the lawsuit was dismissed by the Supreme Court on the grounds that it did not comply with Article III of the Constitution. The lawsuit alleges that Texas does not have the right to intervene in election matters in other states. Texas Attorney General Patrick said, “I’m sorry to say that it was cowardly to do so. The Supreme Court is supposed to be the final arbiter of what is right and wrong in a case, but they have failed in their duty.”
President Trump wants to resolve the election fraud issue peacefully through the judicial process and legally restore the true election results. But we don’t see a path through the judicial process. Leftist forces have infiltrated U.S. government departments, the judicial system, the media, the economy and even President Trump’s team. When all peaceful solutions are exhausted and a fair election result is not achieved, then coercion becomes the only last option. President Trump has this privilege, as demonstrated by the great President Lincoln 160 years ago.
