Excerpt from Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address
Abraham Lincoln

woe to that man by whom the offense cometh' If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in
the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove,
and that he gives to both North and South this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we
discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to him? Fondly
do we hope-fervently do we pray-that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue
until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every
drop of blood drawn by the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still
it must be said, "The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether
