Either way, it was anything but a civil war. By definition, the term “civil war” denotes an internal war for control of the government. At no time was the South battling for control of the US government.

Who attacked fort Sumter?

A agree that the south had a right to secede. But you don’t attack a US fort shortly after secession. Cuba was smart enough to not attack Gitmo.
After a few years you could have negotiated a treaty to take back various federal govt properties. The Rebs shot themselves in the foot on that one

it is still a civil war no matter what you call it.

A rose by any other name still has thorns.
