Re: Your daffynition of Civil War " war between opposing groups of citizens of the same country."
You are operating on the assumption the South is of the same nation as ...say.. Massachusetts.

You are operating on the assumption the South is of the same nation as ...say.. Massachusetts. Obviously, many northerners operated under just that assumption.
I think many reconciled Confederate generals operated under it as well after the war. For example: Robert E. Lee.

When it comes right down to it, the confederacy was just a bad idea. The bigoted and anarchical views of the southern "leadership" cost hundreds of thousands of lives.
