The offical record refers to it as "The War of Southern Rebellion". Seems appropriate to me.

Do you suppose the American Revolution should be called "The War of American Rebellion?"

At least our founding fathers recognized their actions for what they were - rebellion. They entered into their revolution knowing that it was not sanctioned under British law and knowing that they would have to fight for their freedom. They did not pretend that it was something that it was not, nor did they pitch a fit when the British put up a fight. Were that the confederates were so honest.
