Re: Another name for the war, The Baptists war?

I cannot put my finger on it, but several years ago, David Upton posted an excellent account of how New Englanders with their Puritan beliefs stirred the pot for decades leading up to the War. For Lincoln to call out Christian pastors as hypocrites in the eyes of God is a remarkably absurd irony. On the other hand, it appears he had an audience who was very receptive to his use of quoting the Bible to support his political propaganda.
