We have never had a civil war in this country and I hope abuses like this Obama decree does not start one.

We had the War Between the States, the Civil War, between 1861 and 1865.

“We had the War Between the States, the Civil War, between 1861 and 1865.”

What is frequently called the “Civil War” was not. A civil war is a war within a country.

Lincoln’s War was a war between two countries - the United States of America and the Confederate States of America.
