The correct answer is the statement that reads: “Lincoln argues that the war is a punishment to both the North and South for allowing slavery to exist for so long, reminding the Northerners not to put all the blame on the South”. Near the end of the Civil War, Lincoln delivered his <em>Second Inaugural Address</em> (1865) and he argued that the conflict that was happening (Civil War) was an offence to God and <u>a “divine” punishment for the sin of slavery</u> that both the North and South have tolerated. In his speech, one can spot Lincoln’s argument when he says: “If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him?”.

Answer:
Life in Nature is True and Free from Vices
Explanation:
The passage is a dialog by Duke Senior in the play 'As You Like It' by William Shakespeare. Duke Senior is banished from his kingdom by his brother and he, with his friends, is now in the forest. The author shows the hardships and struggles of life amidst the natural environment. The open forest is less dangerous than the closed courts where human jealousy creates perils. In the forest, the only thing that affects the humans, as the sons of Adam, is weather, i.e. cold, heat and rain, but not the human intrigues. The differences in weather can test human patience since a human can better understand things in adversity. Nature offers melody from trees, lesson of life in the running streams and sacred sermons in stones and this world is natural, free from vices and intrigues of the courtly life.
