Excerpt from The Nation's Sacrifice, Abraham Lincoln: Two Discourses, Delivered on Sunday Morning, April 16, and Wednesday Morning, April 19, 1865, in the Church of the Redeemer, Cincinnati, Ohio

Yet all this did not open our eyes. Then they tried their hand on a higher thing, and resolved to drown the nation herself in the blood of her freedom-loving citizens. Four years ago last Friday they Opened war, and for four years they have waged a conflict that has not been so much a war as a Saturnalia of all crimes within-the record of man. They knew that if they would destroy this great republic they must wade through oceans of blood, and do such deeds, accursed of God and man, as would astonish mankind but they did not hold back.
