The Nation¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s Sin and Punishment: Or The Hand of God Visible in the Overthrow of Slavery is a book written by Stephen Alexander Hodgman and published in 1864. The book is a religious and political commentary on the issue of slavery in the United States, and it argues that the institution of slavery is a sin against God that must be punished.Hodgman uses biblical references and theological arguments to support his claim that slavery is a moral evil that must be eradicated. He also argues that the Civil War, which was raging at the time of the book¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s publication, is a divine punishment for the nation¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s sin of allowing slavery to exist.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the issue of slavery. Hodgman discusses the history of slavery in the United States, the economic and social reasons for its existence, and the moral and ethical implications of owning another human being.Throughout the book, Hodgman emphasizes the importance of repentance and redemption, arguing that the only way for the nation to be forgiven for its sin of slavery is to abolish the institution and work towards racial equality and justice.Overall, The Nation¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s Sin and Punishment is a passionate and thought-provoking commentary on one of the most important issues in American history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery, the Civil War, and the struggle for racial equality in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
