O HOLY NIGHT was translated from French to English by an abolitionist, the Unitarian minister John Sullivan Dwight, in 1855, on the verge of the U.S. Civil War. Dwight was primarily attracted to this verse, and it was a big reason the carol became popular in the North. https://twitter.com/CarlosHappyNPO/status/1464403702068961285
