Question

Read these sentences from the speech.

Answer 1

A) Grievous acts do not go unpunished.

In this speech, the speaker is supposing that God has given the war to the North and South as the punishment for allowing slavery to continue past its appointed time. The speaker says that slavery is an offense that God has ordained, but only for a certain amount of time. Because it's time has past, God has brought the war in order to punish and end slavery.

The other options are incorrect because there is no mention of healing wounds. Nor is there any talk of forgiveness. Also, there is no talk of helping oneself.
