in the midst of a fight for the various survival of the united states a civil war lincoln thought that the nation would benefit from looking to its past americans needed a reminder of why the nation was founded in the first place and therefore why the union of american states was worth saving. with american shooting not in an enemy outside a foreign enemy, but at each other clearly there was some confusion about the meaning of america. this is why as president-elect lincoln called americans god's almost. chosen people lincoln believed americans were undergoing something of an identity crisis. they were no longer united. in their understanding of why their nation existed what were its highest aims and purposes? so in the middle of a fratercidal war lincoln believed that only by returning to the original understanding the original intentions of the founders. could americans recover their united purpose as a people? at gettysburg lincoln exhorted americans to recommit themselves to dedicate themselves to the tasks that remained to honor the dead who fought at gettysburg on behalf of the u

we heard a little bit earlier in the program that us secretary of state anthony of lincoln has held phone calls with each of su. dan's. warren generals, tell us a little bit more about how effective you think that pressure might be and whether any sort of international intervention might help. so, sudan is the usually significant country. it basically speeds up the crossroads between the middle is not africa, the hill. i'm one of africa, it's a baby, large country. it's a very important country surrounded by bailey and people hotfoot. and so i think there will be some potential interest in trying to get the barrier to pull. but i think it will need to be constructive mediation. it will need to both the african union, the regional block, it got important need but of egypt, but also those quite the field, the united arab emirates and the cut tardies who all have influences some of the active and americans are really critical because they re, historically important, the community love book, you know, for, for the security act of and also the political player. i think we'll leave that there w

states were in rebellion. they were not their own nation in this particular formulation. and so the message of the lincoln administration from the very beginning is that these states have not left the union. they remain in the union, but the people in them who are claiming to be part of the confederacy are. in rebellion that's why in the 19th century following the civil war end during the civil war their primarily calling this the war of the rebellion not a civil war. this is the war of people who are rebelling against the united states. they had declared their wishes, right they had declared this by saying they wanted to dissolve the union and so they have declared that they're in rebellion. but calling it a rebellion creeds all kinds of problems. because it forces link into consider. what is the situation constitutionally in dealing with people who are in rebellion? and so what happens in the civil war itself is a lot of worry about what is constitutional in a constitution that does not provide the answers to questions about secession to questions about conduct to questions about war powers to questions

theology of the united states and a political theology is the use of religious ideas distinctively religious ideas to explain political events and to give them meaning and i think what lincoln is doing here is offering a version. i wouldn't call it secularizing because god is in it but a version of the political theology of the united states that's heavily dependent on protestant christian ideas about liberation from sin. so in this picture slavery is the original sin that lincoln describes which is an offense, but it's inevitable offense. it's something that had to happen much as original sin is seen in early protestant theology as an inevitable reality. that was nevertheless fundamentally evil and sinful and the only thing that can cleanse original sin is the sacrifice of christ. through his blood and here the blood of the civil war dead is used by lincoln as a substitute for christ's blood. it's passionate in the sense and the technical sense that it's christ's passion or suffering that forgives original sin, and that's what's going on here the blood of the civil war dead who are themselves martyrs is being used theologically to cleanse the united states of the original

let's go to our correspondent tele short suzetta nato headquarters where you, my secretary of state antony lincoln, is giving a press conference. so welcome attorney wants to secretary blinkin, been say, secretary lincoln has been asked about u. s. support for ukraine, about the trust that nato allies have that the u. s. is here for the long haul. and of course, one of the reasons that question is coming up is because there is also this additional concern about china and about china's intentions toward taiwan. in particular, the usa does not want to see any altercation breakout between china and tay, want taiwan as because because it also has, of course, a very strong military interest in the indo pacific. so this is something that is, has been on the agenda of the nato foreign ministers today. i dm's stoughton broke has also insisted that ukraine's future is in the euro, atlantic family. but without a clear timeline, it's already real progress that that's something that secretary blinkin was just asked about as well. because nato has promised ukraine has pledged to ukraine, that it will eventuall

was to be a senator from illinois and he wants me eventually he wants to be president of the united states and lincoln concluded that although john brown was right about slavery being wrong, his strategy is way beyond the evil of slavery was counter applicant wrong in itself because the first place, john brown tried to instigate a war, an armed uprising of slaves against their masters rated abraham lincoln concludes this was wrong with as a short-term and long-term and it was wrong and counterproductive in the short term because into typing and titans shackles on the slaves rather than listen to them. the slaveholders themselves look to the fact that here's this guy from the north is going into a price and they produced if not eliminated entirely to treat them as the slaves were allowed it. so life gets more default enslaved men and women in the south in a way that john brown - and in the long term, he was frustrated at what john brown said withdrew because lincoln as much as he thought that slavery was wrong, he had to choose between ending slavery and preserving the constitution, every time he would
