Nowhere Else to Go - Lincoln at Antietam - Canvas Christian Art Print

This historical masterpiece depicts Abraham Lincoln visiting the Union army shortly after the battle of Antietam, still the bloodiest day in US Military history. Camping in a military tent, Lincoln saw the battle sites, met with his generals, and visited with many wounded soldiers. This was a very difficult time for the president. He was deeply moved by the suffering and sacrifices made by the soldiers. The fate of the nation and the weight of the world seemed to weigh heavily upon him. This painting depicts Lincoln alone in his tent, kneeling in prayer. As the war progressed he became more deeply convicted that the "Hand of Providence" was involved in the events of the war, his presidency, and eventually the end of slavery. "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go." -Abraham Lincoln
