Read the excerpt from Lincoln's Second Inaugural
Address.
Each [party] looked for an easier triumph, and a result
less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same
Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His
aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men
should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing
their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let
us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both
could not be answered. That of neither has been
answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes.

North and South.
