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."

I would proffer that that War was brewing since 1776. When you say the War “started in 1861”, what specific event are you referring to?
