Then suppose you look at it this way: The South was fighting for what it believed to be its rights, but we weren't fighting for our rights; we were fighting for the right.

The South was fighting for what it believed to be its right to split the Union and be a country by itself; but we were fighting for 'Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable.' It wasn't only the Union we fought for; it was Freedom.

The South wanted freedom to leave the Union; but the reason the South wanted that freedom to separate from us was because _we_ wanted the Freedom of Man.

_There's_ the reason we had the certain knowledge that we were going to win the war.
