The one uniting value that American Christianity has is the perpetuation of American Christianity. That's it. It's nothing but a vestigial power structure that no longer has any purpose other than to exist, but will do anything to keep existing. Attack the queer, condemn the poor...do whatever you want. There is no authority that you have to answer to so, by default, Christianity is whatever you say it is. People have been limit testing that for generations now, and it keeps bending without finally breaking.

To be fair, it really should have been.
Yeah, and then one side actually won and decided to do what winners always do and pretend it's because they were the good guys, and not because all wars have to end eventually.
I do wonder how much longer it would have had to be dragged out before both sides would get so fed up with being perpetually at war that they would mutually admit the whole thing was a huge mistake and they should agree to end it with no winner. Three years wasn't even really that long as wars go; it was just especially grim.

Even if one sides government falls to revolution (because the population wanted the war to end.): one government still ended, so the side that didn't is the winner. There's always a winner at war, whether you like it or not. That whole "What if war were declared and no one showed up" philosophical question doesn't happen, because one side will always show up, so the second side will get involved regardless.
