Oh my God, is it? I hadn't been tracking on it....I believe, in my heart, that the Civil War was a judgment of God upon the nation, to purge it of the iniquity of slavery. It was avoidable, had the nation repented in time, but it was not avoided.

Thank God that Lincoln was determined to save the Union, and that he found his general in Grant. I believe that the Gettysburg Address is not only a marvel of rhetorical brevity, but a sacred document, to be revered along with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.....
