Proof positive you are a damned idiot. You can call it whatever you want, but by any definition it was a civil war. Typical Dixie type, you think you can change history by altering language. It won't work. But, cool the way you figured out how to deflect the subject away from the issue of slavery. My entire post was about how you guys never want to discuss slavery. You carefully avoided addressing that. It's a losing topic, isn't it? Best to find some other little detail in the argument and hope you can use it to change the subject. Nice try, it doesn't work.
it's because you have BLINDERS ON and cannot talk RATIONALLY about that subject, as you seem to have swallowed the DY LIES, hook, line & sinker.
face it, the war for dixie LIBERTY was NOT about "preserving slavery" no matter how much you WISH it had been, as only 5-6% of BOTH northerners & southerners EVER owned a single slave & would NOT have fought a war to protect some rich guy's "right to trade in human flesh".
the VAST MAJORITY of people in both regions couldn't have cared less about slavery. it a BOGUS issue that was intended to FOOL ignorant & mean-spirited 1/2-wits & SELF-righteous DUMB-bunnies.(the KNOWING LIE seems to have fooled YOU!)
lincoln, himself, said that the war was ONLY about "preserving the union" UNTIL it appeared that France & GB might enter the war on the CSA's side. THEN lincoln decided to say that the war was a crusade against slavery. NOBODY in dixie was surprised, as lincoln was ANYTHING but honest.
no less a person than GEN US Grant said that IF the war had been to preserve slavery that he would have fought FOR the south. that too is FACT!
face it, casloy,the war was ONLY about freedom for dixie & getting the DY elite's boots off our necks.

the south NEVER wanted to overthrow the US government. they simply wanted to be free of it. thus it was NOT a civil war!
so who is the IDIOT here?? could it be YOU? (rotflmRao AT you.)
