In his Second Inaugural Address, Lincoln wondered if the bloodbath of the Civil War was God's punishment on America for the sin of slavery. If that's true, we are cruising for an apocalyptic event, for what we've done and evil (abortion "rights", mutilation of confused children) we're trying to spread throughout the world.

"Lincoln wondered if the bloodbath of the Civil War was God's punishment on America for the sin of slavery."
That was just Lincoln's posturing to absolve himself of guilt in the history books for waging unlimited warfare on his fellow Americans. He cared nothing for the blacks in America. Prior to campaigning for the Presidency, Lincoln's solution to the "negro problem" was to round them all up and ship them back to Africa. See "The Real Lincoln" by Thomas DiLorenzo. Lincoln used the issue of slavery as an excuse to declare war upon half of America. The horrific bloodshed of the so-called Civil War wasn't God's punishment. The unlimited bloodshed was the design of Lincoln and his Generals' Grant and Sherman to subjugate the southern American states to the will of the USG. Proto-Nazi is the best description of Lincoln I can think of.
I have the DiLorenzo book but haven't gotten around to reading it. Many people say it's eye-opening.
Having read the Lincoln-Douglas debates, it's clear that Lincoln thought black people were not in any way equal to whites but it is also clear that he recognized their humanity and dignity, and was troubled by their plight.
Exactly right.
