BTW, The 2nd American Revolution goes by other names too. One is rather neutral, The War Between The States. Another by who initiated violence, The War of Northern Aggression. The least appropriate and unfortunately most common name is civil war. The reason "civil war" is an improper term to describe the conflict is because in a civil war, they are fighting for control of the existing government. Had the South won, Lincoln would still be President of the USA.
