Thanks Matt Pinsker. I was looking for a firmer understanding of the significance of Lincoln's second inaugural address, particularly of the "sermon" section you noted.

Great analysis

Thank you for this

This was a great analysis!

2nd Inaugural is Lincoln’s greatest speech, greater even, than the Gettysburg Address.

great job

wow!

There are 3 distinct causes of war: physical threat (territory), economic - the investment in the commerce of farming, lastly hubris (pride). The Civil War was about money, earned from large-scale farming. Lincoln knew there was a higher accountability that would come due depriving fellow man of basic human rights. But that knowledge combined with natural tendency of man to be tempted by greed, led to his eventual assassination. Very brave, since he knew he was going to be killed for it. We don't have men like this today. Today's man has bone spurs and sends other peoples' kids to die.

There are a lot more than 3 distinct causes of war, and leaders have been sending other people's kids to die in war for centuries. Its not anything new. I know you are trying to take a shot at the current president, but your reasoning here is just flat out wrong.

excellent presentation, lincoln as a great man of profound thought, moral sense, and poetry.

Woe unto him upon which slavery came to this land. The Civil War was God's punishment for the perpetuation of slavery.

Thank God Lincoln didn't have mustard gas

The means were a regression to those of the religious wars. What Sherman, and what Sheridan did in the Shenandoah Valley was similar to what Cromwell did in Ireland, Parallels can also be found in the conduct of the war against the Plains indians which were prosecuted by the two “western’ generals.

Lincoln talks a lot

i dont like it
