To begin with; the OFFICIAL title (or term) for the American Civil War (aka US Civil War) is the "War of the Rebellion" (hence the term "Rebels").

The South was "rebelling" against the United States government. It was an illegal war, and an un-declared war. Illegal meaning, the "Rebels" could have been convicted in a court of law and imprisoned for "attacking their own government." Their president, Jefferson Davis was imprisoned after the war.

Why is the study of it important? Because it freed the slaves nation wide; the emancipation act.
