Civil War (USA) 

This is a misnomer for the war that was fought between the United States of America and the Confederate States of America during the early 1860s. This war should not be called a Civil War since a Civil War is usually fought between residents of the same nation but since the South had separated from the USA and became known the CSA, a different nation.

This war has also been called:

    1) War between the States

    2) War of Southern Succession

    3) War of Northern Aggression

    4) War for Southern Independence
