Lincoln to be tried by CSA

Here's one for the alternative history crowd:
[Liberty University's 2005 Civil war Seminar] theme is "If the South Had Won the Civil War: The Trial of President Abraham Lincoln," and it’s an intriguing premise. As Rowlette explains: "The seminar will explore what might have transpired if Grant had never survived the seige of Vicksburg, if ... Lincoln and the U.S. capital had fallen into Southern hands. Using 1860s legal jurisprudence, the seminar will explore legal and moral aspects of Lincoln’s controversial actions from 1861 up to and including the summer of 1863."
At least they are not acting out the trial. Close call.
