I've never heard that one. But they still call it the 'War of Northern Aggression'

Not to be confused with the Vietnam War, because that was not a civil war (two separate nations fought that war). The US Civil War involved strictly Americans (Northerners vs Southerners); was Congress to pay both adversaries, both Northerners & Southerners? When the Southerners were actually committing treason by attacking their own US Government? Thus the official name of the American Civil War..."The War of the Rebellion" (Rebellion against the US Government). Thus, the US Congress had to either pay just the Northerners (Federal, Union, Yankee Armies, US Army, US Navy, etc.) or both...THEY WERE BOTH AMERICANS. This may have caused "a problem" for the US treasury department.
The name of American Civil War given by both the Southern and Northern are as below: Northern: War of the Rebellion, Southern: War for Southern Independence, War of Northern Aggression, Freedom War

Northerners call it the American Civil War - stressing that it was war within one nation. Southerners prefer to call it The War Between the States - making a demarcation between the Union and the Confederate states.
northerners who opposed the war . !
Union? Or Northerners
The US Civil War was known as the War of Rebellion, and the men that fought it were often referred to as "Rebs" (for Rebels).
