Lincoln's Christianity by Michael Burkhimer

[Eva Elisabeth]

Did the voters in 1860 vote for Lincoln because of his religious views? I don't believe so - political views, perhaps. Did men from North, South, East, and West take up arms to support Lincoln's religious views? I don't believe so -- they had their own views on a number of issues, and their views may have included religion. However, I doubt that even army recruiters used the line, "Join now to support Abraham Lincoln's religious views."

That's what I meant. Whatever the war was about or was believed to be about by those who fought, certainly none thought of religion.
