The Christian Leaders, Revivals, and Reconstruction Aftermath of the American Civil War (Ep. 24)
How can the Lord use division, war, hatred, and the worst of
human suffering to perfect His saints and bring salvation to thousands of people?
The American Civil War and its aftermath gives us a prime example of such glorious deeds.
In this episode, Chris and Casey discuss the most influential Christian leaders in the Civil War; their impact on those under
their leadership; the major spiritual revivals and awakenings during the war; and the key events of the war’s aftermath period, known as Reconstruction. We talk about the most devout Christian leaders on the Confederate side, such as
Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Thomas Jackson, and Patrick Cleburne (who led the most serious effort to allow slaves to serve as Confederate soldiers in exchange for their freedom). We also note a couple of the Union Christian leaders, including D.L. Moody. Then, we describe the main revivals during the war, and how they affected the soldiers and society both during and after the war.
Finally, Casey gives a brief overview of Reconstruction, and Chris shows that there were great instances of God’s grace and mercy during this dark period through the conversion of Ku Klux Klan leader Nathan Bedford Forrest.
As usual, we wrap up with some general and specific lessons
about dealing with division, calamity, and trials, and how the Lord uses all destructive activities of man to accomplish His work of spiritual healing, salvation, and the preparation of souls for eternity.
