Lincoln was Far More Discouraged Than You have Ever Been. He Thought God had Turned on America and had Brought its Affliction as Punishment. Stop blaming someone else, God said. Look in the Mirror, God Said. The Second Inaugural Address.

I can hardly read this address without getting emotional. Lincoln believed God was stretching out America's affliction because we as a nation had allowed grievous injustice in our land. Our punishment was a protracted Civil War that took 700,000 lives.
Or to borrow from the great British song, The Streets of London
How can you tell me you're lonely
And that for you, the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
That'll change your mind.
