In Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, possibly the most famous speech in American history, the president noted that both the North and South fought the Civil War with the belief that they had God on their side. Indeed, religion played a crucial role in the conflict between the states, and Christian reverends travelled with the armies to conduct church services in camp. In The Church in the Confederate States, North Carolina bishop Joseph Blount Cheshire discusses the history of the Protestant Episcopalian Church in the Confederate States during the Civil War, including an appendix of common Confederate prayers created and recited during the war. This edition of Cheshire’s work is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and pictures of famous Confederate generals, Episcopalian churches in the South, Civil War camp services, and more.
