When the north fought the south in the Civil War, was this an example of how Christians follow God's teachings?

No it was an example of states rights and government interference, the south lost. I find most of your questions childishly boring, but this one is plain ignorant.

Hardly, the war was savage. Huge numbers were killed and others suffered life long disabilities. On the other hand there is considerable evidence of compassion between soldiers during slow periods.

Brothers fought on opposite sides, fathers on the other side from sons.

Young lady, you have a devious mind! I love you. Isn't it interesting how both sides marched off to war chanting "god is on our side"?

They were really "turning the other cheek" weren't they? I'll bet, that without religion, you would not be able to raise a volunteer army!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
