Adam or SEIQ are better versed than me and know of (and remember) sources.
Basically the root of LDS support for the South was their resentment of the federal govt. and the perceived oppression at their hands.
I believe it was mostly "the enemy of our enemy is our friend" and not so much a complete consonance of philosophy with the South.
