[Verginius Rufus]

One of my great-grandfathers was 9 years old and living in the Shenandoah Valley (Frederick Co., VA) when the war began. I was told by one of his daughters, my great-aunt, that the family house was burned during the war.

The War of 1861 was not our first civil war. The war of 1775-1783 was...and it was also regarded as putting down a rebellion by one side to the conflict.

[Sherman Logan]

Quite true. It WAS an attempt to put down a rebellion.

It’s just that the attempt failed, so none dare call it rebellion.
