Right.
There was however a War Between the States. Also known as the War for Southern Independence or in some quarters the War of Northern Aggression.
It was only a war of independence for some southerners. Most southerners were better off remaining in the Union. The large number of Confederate deserters and southerners of both races fighting for the Union suggest that there was a strong element in Dixie who realized the Confederacy was not worth fighting for.
great minds think alike!
