You do not get to pick which terms are acceptable. The term rebellion is appropriate and if you disagree, well I’ll just have to live with that disapproval.

You do not get to pick which terms are acceptable

It's not about acceptability, it's about applicability and the term 'rebellion' simply does not apply. It's precisely the same as the term 'civil war'. It doesn't apply, but, for politically correct reasons, it continues to be used.

The term rebellion is appropriate

Only for political correctness.

and if you disagree

The term 'rebellion' is only 'appropriate' for reasons that I've stated before: to incite hatred, fear and loathing for the Confederacy and Southerners, specifically white Southerners, for political and propaganda purposes. If you want to continue to use the term 'rebellion', at least admit that it's technically incorrect but 'appropriate' through the lens of politically correct historical distortion.

well I’ll just have to live with that disapproval.

And hopefully you'll live a long, prosperous and harmonious life and can one day accept that just because something makes you feel good doesn't necessarily mean that it's right.

Many blessings and go in a good way.
