Emily,
That's a great collection of issues re belonging. I would love to see the rebels as ambiguous, sort of like the Viet Cong, so that the issue doesn't become too clear cut. Here you are, a runaway slave, finding solace among freedom fighters—who, in the name of liberation, terrorize and kill those people who don't join the fight. The church would be the opposite, peaceful, passive, allowing shit to happen and consoling people with the promise of a better afterlife.
BTW, did you see City of God? If you did not, I suggest you do, it's a great movie :)
As for IIEE, this seems to lend itself more to a scene resolution kind of mechanic based on the numbers system that Eric developed. One side sets up a scene, both sides develop a goal, and when there's disagreement there's the roll of dice.
Again, just some suggestions.
