God's Almost Chosen Peoples: A Religious History of the American Civil War by George C. Rable

Author:George C. Rable
Format: pdf
Tags: This book takes as its focus the broader role of religion during the Civil War, as well as religion’s role in the everyday lives of Americans struggling to understand the meaning of the conflict. Examining published sermons of clergy who spoke on the sectional conflict and war, official statements about the war from various churches, denominational papers and periodicals, and letters, diaries, and newspaper articles written by regular Americans, among other sources, George Rable reveals how, not surprisingly, Americans viewed the secession crisis and the war itself from a religious perspective, how religious beliefs shaped many Americans’ views of passing events, and how the pervasiveness and importance of the belief that God’s intentions shaped the destinies of individuals and the nation affected Americans’ views about and experiences of the conflict., Publisher:The University of North Carolina Press, Published:2010, Related ISBN:9780807834268, Language:English, OCLC:698114978
