War of the Southern Rebellion is far more accurate.

Of course it isn't. But then, you knew that.

Lincoln's War it is.

On the contrary. Rebellion is, by definition, an open, armed, and usually unsuccessful defiance to an established government. That is a completely accurate description of the Southern actions right down to the 'unsuccessful' part.

Lincoln's War it is.

Or, considering the complaint frequently heard around here that Lincoln tricked the rebel forces into firing, how about "The War That Was Lincoln's Fault Because We Were So Stupid We Fell Into His Trap"?
