UK. Everything Abraham Lincoln believed was darkness.

In early 1863, amid what he had called the fiery trial the Civil War.

Union forces were meeting defeat after defeat at the hands of the Confederacy.

Elizabeth Kekley, a free black woman with a dress-making business in Washington whose clients included Mary Todd Lincoln,

recalled a gloomy president walking into a room in the

residence in the White House, throwing himself on a sofa and reading the Book of Job,

the story of a righteous man tested by a god of wrath. Job had endured, which was all

Lincoln could think to do. And then providentially on the 4th of July, amid despair and death, light and life emerged.

Word arrived of a union victory in the farmland of Pennsylvania at Gettysburg.

Later, in a conversation with General Daniel E. Sickles, who lost a leg in the battle,

Lincoln described the anxious hours as he had waited for the verdict from Pennsylvania.

Lincoln said this, in the pinch of your campaign up there, oppressed by the gravity of our affairs. I went into my room one day and locked the door and

got down on my knees before Almighty God and prayed to him mightily for victory at Gettysburg.

I told him this was his war and our cause, his cause, but that we couldn't stand in other Fredericksburg or Chancellor'sville, and I then and there made a solemn vow to Almighty God that if he would

stand by our boys at Gettysburg I would stand by him and he did and I will.

I'm John Meacham, and this is hope through history.
