Christian Controversies in American History: Yankees vs. Rebels - Understanding The True Causes of the American Civil War (CD/ Audio)

Product Overview

Slavery? States Rights? Economic pressure? Regional politics? What were the true causes of the War Between the States? How was it possible for so many "great" men, many of whom were Christians, to disagree so fundamentally on the defining war of American history? For years, Christian students have either been befuddled by the controversies or bamboozled into believing nonsense spouted by secular commentators. Into the historical fray steps historian Bill Potter with a scholarly, Christian response to the controversy.
