I'm thinking the Lincoln Project is named for Benjamin Lincoln, the general who surrendered Charleston to the British during the Revolutionary War.

If it is named for Abraham Lincoln, they were inspired by his saying that "you can fool some of the people all of the time."

“I’m thinking the Lincoln Project is named for Benjamin Lincoln”

Maybe the John Wilkes Booth conspirators were code named the Lincoln Project.

Doubt if they are named after the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, volunteers supporting the Bolsheviks in the Spanish Civil War.
