The American Civil War: Over Rights, Not Race (Ep. 23)
How is it possible for a nation that shares the same language, history, foods, wars, and ancestries to become so divided that it splits into 2 opposing factions that seek to kill each other? By studying the American Civil War, you can find out. This important, world-changing, culture-shaping, and church-building conflict shows us how the Lord uses and disuses nations, governments, societies, tragedies, and sins to display His glory, to establish governments, to transform societies, and most importantly to expand His reign of salvation through His people.
In this discussion, Chris and Casey delve deeply into the complex issues that contributed to the secession of Southern states, the beginning of the war, and the continuation of it after it was shown that it would prove to be the bloodiest of modern conflicts up that point. They show that the war was waged, not simply over a conflict of opinions about slavery, but over a conflict of two very different societies, ways of life, and worldviews. Then, they give a fast-paced overview of the whole course of the war, from the first major battle, to the Confederate surrender at Appomatox Courthouse, to the assassination of Lincoln, and the establishment of Reconstruction. In the course of the discussion, they touch on the major religious differences between the two sides, the main spiritual revival that happened in both sides in 1863, and the spiritual and moral lessons that we as believers and westerners can learn from the war as a whole.
Lord willing, next time, we'll be discussing the Christian revivals and awakenings that happened in the midst of the war.
