"I am an American. I prefer the neutral and accurate "Civil War".

Anyone who uses any other variety is simply looking for a fight deliberately."


Which would include anyone calling it "War of Southern Rebellion".

I would not wish to use any term containing regional references. My people during the war refused to fight for Jeff Davis's slave owners' club. Many Southerners were aligned with the Union and not the Confederacy. I think a more accurate term for the conflict would be the "War of Confederate Capitulation".
