Book Breaks with Richard Carwardine on Righteous Strife: How Warring Religious Nationalists Forged Lincoln’s Union

 

Date & Time:  March 2, 2025, 02:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

An Unholy Traffic book cover

Righteous Strife places Abraham Lincoln’s increasing religiosity against the backdrop of American clerics’ biting debates. Was abolition part of God’s plan? If slavery was a sin, was it the providential role of government to abolish it? Or did such a mission amount to “religious tyranny” and “pulpit politics?”
