I am constantly thinking of it as the war for Southern independence... Except for that 1/3rd of the population that y'all held title to.
...but I think it was more accurately named “The war of Northern aggression”
The most accurate name was the original one, War of Southern Rebellion.

"The most accurate name was the original one, War of Southern Rebellion." No the most accurate title is the one that describes how it started: The War of Lincoln's Rebellion.

Except for the 1/3 of the population that y'all held title to. One can only wonder how big the massacre would have been if the population of Massachusetts or Connecticut had been 1/3 black in 1850. Guess that's why most blacks stayed right where they were when they were freed.
