Civil War Turning Points: Pivotal Battles, God's Will & Lincoln's Strategies - Dr. Jud Lake

About this sermon

Lincoln initially didn't believe slavery would end in the South, and the first draft of the 13th Amendment would have cemented that. Both the Union and Confederates fasted and prayed, but only one side claimed divine providence. McClellan found the secret to defeating Lee in an unlikely place, but acted slowly? Join Civil War expert Dr. Judd Lake, as he explores Lincoln's leadership, the abolitionist movement, and the Emancipation Proclamation. A professor and historian, he also discusses his journey from aspiring football player to minister of the gospel, influenced by his deep spiritual search and conversion during an evangelistic meeting.
