Evangelicals and the Civil War
Before the civil war, evangelicals were a mix of all sorts of people. But it was still the era of slavery. Every single denomination in the united states split around that time based on the question of slavery. It's the southern evangelicals that never did repent of having slaves. In fact, they were the ones who picked up musketsad and fought to maintain slavery in the south. That church becomes the the heartbeat of the segregationist movement in the jim crow era. The battle among white evangelicals will play out over the next century.
