In addition to the norm, 'The Civil War', maybe the term 'War of Southern Aggression' would be historically appropriate, considering which side really started the American Civil War.

Why play their games? Call it what it was, and what it was know as until early in the last century. The War of Southern Rebellion.

I agree, and would take it a step further by terming it "The War of Confederate Aggression"

There was no rebellion. But then, you knew that.
