"The Almighty has his own purposes". Woe into the world because of offenses for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh. If we shall suppose that American slaver is one of those offenses which in the providence of God, must needs come but which, having continued through his appointment time, He now wills to remove, and that he gives to both North and South this terrible war".
Even though Lincoln attended church he was a fatalist and believe in eternal justice. Yet at the same time he criticizes the church because he believe that they neglected the importance of the love of god. But most of all the practical obedience. He hated slavery because its the ugliness in the bondage of slavery. How is it morally right to tell your fellow people how much you despise slavery but yet you still allow slavery to exists Our nation was born into liberty and justice for all men but not Black men. Who gives you the right to discriminate against humanity regardless of the color of their skin. Turn around and say the war is testing our faith on equality and can we stand separated. I believe Mr. Lincoln used God as a way to end slavery because of his vision to turn the country around but at the same time its playing with God. Back in those days the nation as a whole was very strong on religion that was their hope that the nation will turn around. Til this day our government used faith and religion as a way to play on people moral value and how can God bless our nation that sometimes are corrupt and destroys the lives of their people.
