Hagee: Fasting and Prayer Ended the Civil War

Glenn Beck recently sat down with John Hagee, whom Beck called "a prophet of our times," to discuss the importance of prayer regarding the upcoming election, which both Beck and Hagee agreed was the most important election since the Civil War.
Not coincidentally, Hagee noted, it was Abraham Lincoln's declaration of a national day of fasting and prayer that was responsible for bringing that war to an end:
We'd like to point out that Lincoln issued this declaration on March 30, 1863 and Lee did not  have "the grace to surrender" for another two years, until April 9, 1865.

The Battle Of Antietam was Sept 17, 1862.  Gettysburg was July 1-3 1863.

It was guns, men, and the will to continue fighting that won the war.  It was not God  --  heck, I suspect the treasonous rebels of the confederacy thought "God" was on THEIR side  --  still the namby-pamby "mechanics" of the North beat the crap out of all the "Southern Gentlemen".

Please remember, it was a  "rich man's war and a poor man's fight".  Lots of rich slave holders, plantation owners who stood to gain the most DID NOT FIGHT.

Oh, I almost forgot, along with Grant, the person who should be looked upon as a SAINT,for helping save The Union is William Tecumseh Sherman and his GALLANT "march to the sea".
