If I have attributed that quote incorrectly then it was incorrect in the source where I got it. I’ll have to check and verify that.

You are correct and my learned friend jmacusa is wrong. The quote is from Lincoln's first inaugural. He may be thinking of Lincoln's 1848 speech on the war with Mexico when he said, "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better."
