Excerpt from The Rebellion in America
It will also facilitate reunion. Slavery alone has inspired the slaveholders with the wish to break loose from the just authority of their government, and it alone now hinders their return. Cherishing the guilty dream of a slave empire which shall surpass the United States both in extent and power, Mr Jefferson Davis has said to this sin of slavery,
"Evil, be thou my good. By thee at least
Divided empire with the North I hold;
By thee and more than half perhaps shall reign,
As men ere long and this new world shall know."
His colleagues have shared in his ambition. But when the slaveholders are once subdued, and emancipation effected, the South will have no longer any motive for separation.
As this rebellion has been unprovoked, and therefore criminal (Rom. xiii. 1-4), Christians cannot wish it success, because they cannot wish the triumph of crime.
