to argue that the impact of the war has not yet matched the impact of slavery
In the passage of President Lincoln's address he first states that he hope the war will end soon. But then he goes on to say that if God wants the war to go on so that every man who profited from slavery loses all their wealth and that a man dies for every drop of a slave's blood spilled by a lashing, then it must be so. He says that it is up to God to decide how high of a price they must pay for slavery. This comparison shows that the war has not yet matched the impact of slavery. He does go on to talk about the God's judgment but the purpose is not to say that God will judge everyone who participates in the war, it is more about paying the price for slavery.
