Seems tome that Lincoln is not the only tyrant here.

And Kalamata is not the only person here with a hyperactive imagination.

central_va: "I wonder what the Maryland Legislature would have thought about that."

DoodleDawg: "They were trying to take Maryland into rebellion against the U.S.
What should have happened to them? "

The US Constitution is totally clear on the subject of treason:

Article 3, Section 3: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

In April 1861, after Fort Sumter, Maryland's legislature voted 53-13 against secession.
On May 6 Confederates formally declared war against the United States and thus, by definition, support for Confederates in Union states was treason.

After the Confederate declaration of war, Federal officials began to arrest those suspected of treason and pro-Confederates ever since have argued they acted unjustly.
But pro-Confederats make no such complaints against Jefferson Davis, who arrested proportionately as many pro-Union Confederate citizens as Lincoln arrested pro-Confederates.

Some even go so far as to claim, "it doesn't matter what Davis did, it only matters what Lincoln did."

That's how you can tell they're Democrats at heart, a form of mental illness.
