Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book addresses the moral and political dilemmas presented by the American Civil War. The author sees the conflict as an inevitable clash between two incompatible systems: the democratic principles of the North and the slave-based economy of the South. By examining two opposing Biblical passages, the author argues the Civil War is comparable to earlier conflicts between good and evil. The author also discusses the global political implications of the war and laments its human cost, emphasizing the bloodshed and suffering on both sides. Ultimately, the book is not only a historical account but also a meditation on the complexities of human nature and the challenges of nationhood.
