The Nation's Sin and Punishment: Or the Hand of God Visible in the Overthrow of Slavery (Classic Reprint) by Stephen Alexander Hodgman (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from The Nation's Sin and Punishment: Or the Hand of God Visible in the Overthrow of Slavery To the Christian people of this great and free land, this little volume is affectionately dedicated. We have t, as we should have done, recognized the hand of our God, in the terrible judgments that have come on our Nation. The design of this little volume is, to trace those judgments to their legitimate and just cause, and to view, in its religious aspect, the sanguinary strife, through which we are w passing. As a Nation, we are guilty, in having tolerated and up held for a long series of years, the most matured system of iniquity and oppression, that devils or wicked men ever yet devised. The wonder is, that, the Divine judgments did t descend upon us long ago. But our eyes have been opened at length, and we are thankful, that our land is to be cleans ed from its pollutions.
