Check out this, as proof positive that wide segments of Americans thought this way!
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
What a bloody giveaway! God is marching on? Oh, come on!
And there's more, too. Read it and fear for the theorcracy that surely follows. No good could possibly come from such faith-based nonsense.
It's like the simple rubes in buggy-over country actually believed that God approved of freeing the slaves and preserving the Union!
Thank goodness we have a Left that can set us straight. Where would we be without them?
