Mr. Williams definition is correct. The citizens of the South were no longer citizens of the US, but citizens of the Confederacy. Civil war would not be appropriate.

Dr. Williams is wrong. The southern rebellion was not successful, so the people there remained a part of the United States. Civil war as defined in the dictionary would be accurate.
