Lincoln doesn't claim what you suggest Sure he does. The cut n paste you provide sets him up to do exactly that.

President Lincoln made an "if/then" statement. In your rush to excoriate him, you only embarrass yourself.

President Lincoln made an "if/then" statement.

And his "if" presumption set up his attempt to blame his own war on God. That is blasphemy, no way around it.
