The term "Civil War" is defined as two (or more) factions within the same country fighting for control of the government.

From Merriam-Webster online dictionary:

Main Entry: civil war
Function: noun
Date: 15th century
: a war between opposing groups of citizens of the same country

Sounds like a pretty accurate description to me.

So, in your opinion, the Confederate States of America did not exsist?
