Bingo, and an excellent post. The last three titles suggested are nothing more than attempts by the south (and I'm a southerner) to re-cast the war in a light more favorable to them or an attempt by contemporary people to put their current political twist on the past.
The American Civil War.
I'm a northerner with extensive southern roots.
There is virtually no difference between the northern and southern sides of la familia 'cept for the accents.
That's why its hard for me to understand how some people are so dead set on presenting southerners and northerners as if we're two totally separate species.
Actually, with the recent Kangaroo Kourt attempts to overturn voter choices in both Arizona and
Kalifornia, a discussion of States Rights seems very timely and appropriate.

Kindly keep your politics on a political forum.
You'd sound like a reasonable person (within the context of this forum) if it weren't for that K krap.
Wars are fought between nations. The Confederate States of America were never recognized as a nation by any country. Therefore, it was a rebellion. The Civil "War" was not technically a war. It was rebellion that was put down by US Army under General Ulysses Grant.

"States' Rights The state rights tone was set in the preamble to the Confederate Constitution in the significant phrase, "each State acting in its sovereign and independent character."
Secession was based on the idea of state rights (or "states rights," a variant that came into use after the Civil War). This exalted the powers of the individual states as opposed to those of the Federal government. It generally rested on the theory of state sovereignty-- that in the United States the ultimate source of political authority lay in the separate states. Associated with the principle of state rights was a sense of state loyalty that could prevail over a feeling of national patriotism. Before the war, the principle found expression in different ways at different times, in the North as well as in the South. During the war it reappeared in the Confederacy."
civil war.
its what happens when the feds break the law and refuse to back off.
the north in 1860 was levying huge taxes on the cotten trade with england which is of course unconstitutional.
that is why we had a war.
sort of like when a state attempts to defend itself again a hostile and violent nation on its border.
you know and then the feds takes AZ to court for trying???
