Why does the author consistently, insistently and repetitively refer to the War of the Rebellion as, the “War of 1861”?

You need to reread the article. In 1861, everyone knew that states had a right to secede. The right to secede was not rebellion; it was classified rebellion to justify the carnage.

Would you prefer the author use the more accurate and correct term The War of Northern Aggression?

Why does the author consistently, insistently and repetitively refer to the War of the Rebellion as, the “War of 1861”? Probably because it's neutral. "Civil War" and "War of the Rebellion" are Yankee while "War Between the States," War of Southern Independence," etc. are Southern.

Why does the author consistently, insistently and repetitively refer to the War of the Rebellion as, the “War of 1861?Because it started in 1861? And is a neutral descriptor?
Personally, I prefer "The War of Northern Aggression."
