Dinesh D'Souza:
[narrating]
Lincoln was a moderate man who found himself in an immoderate situation. The Democratic Party in the 1850s had become gangsterized. Lincoln realized he would have to do things differently. Early in the war, the Confederate passed an order that every Black Union soldier captured would be executed. In response, Lincoln signed an executive order.
Abraham Lincoln:
[as he signs an executive order]
It is therefore ordered that for every soldier in the United States killed in violation of the laws of war, a rebel soldier shall be executed. Order of Retaliation, July 30, 1863.
Dinesh D'Souza:
[narrating]
Why would a moderate man sign such an order? Because he recognized that he had to do to them what they were doing to him. Otherwise, they would never stop.
