“Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray that this great scourge of war may soon pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn by the lash shall be paid with another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so, still it must be said: ‘the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.’”
