Question

Lincoln makes a moral argument in lines 39-54. Both his premise and claim can be inferred from the Biblical quotations at the beginning and end of the paragraph. What evidence does Lincoln present so that his claim follows logically from the premise?

Answer 1

Assuming that the question is related to Abraham Lincoln´s 1865 speech, in the Second Inaugural Adress, in short words, what he is trying to say is that if difficulties come from God, is because there is something wrong that should be corrected, that there is something that needs to be fixed, therefore, the evidence that he quotes is that slavery as it is something wrong in the sense that it was one of the reasons for war, then it needed to be corrected, the war was the way to fix this matter.
