"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. This is a most valuable, a most sacred
right, a right which we hope and believe is to
liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to
cases in which the whole people of an existing
government may choose to exercise it. Any portion
of such people, that can, may revolutionize, and
make their own of so much of the territory as they
inhabit. More than this, a majority of any portion of
such people may revolutionize, putting down a
minority, intermingled with, or near about them,
who may oppose their movements."
-- Lincoln, January 12, 1848
