Dixie, Dixie land, Southerners, Rebels, Rebs, Mason-Dixie line, Confederacy, Gray coats, Traitors, etc. In regards to the term "traitors", officially, during those days, the Civil War as we know it today...was NOT CALLED the Civil War; it was officially called the "War of the Rebellion." Hence the name "Rebel." And Northerners considered, and called them to their faces, Southerners to be traitors.
This was a bitter war...not nice and pretty with re-enactment groups drinking coffee together after a play battle. The North and South sincerely disliked each other. In fact, many Union officers after the war...wanted to hang an awful lot of southerners.
LTC George Custer, wrote a letter to his wife Libby after a frontier Indian battle (after the Civil War) and stated, "...I haven't seen so many dead men since the Rebellion..." men such as Custer probably would've been insulted to credit the south as had fought an honorable "war"...to them it was "a rebellion" against their country.
