Christine:

"We had a huge war mostly over slavery, an economic system which was defended by the Southern Christians."

Not quite true. That may be what the high school textbooks say, but if you really research it you'll find that it was mostly a trade war and highly political. It was also a war fought over state rights (sovereignty) versus federalism. Plus, the war almost didn't occur, except for an unfortunate incident involving a Union General. The issue of slavery was involved to some extant, but was not the primary cause of the war.

You always like research, so I would point you back to history books written before 1880.
