The term "War of Secession" refers to the American Civil War (1861-1865) from the perspective of the Southern states that seceded from the Union. They viewed their departure as a legitimate act of self-determination and sovereignty, asserting their right to secede from a government they believed was infringing upon their rights, particularly regarding slavery and states' rights. This nomenclature emphasizes the Southern states' belief that they were fighting to preserve their autonomy rather than to maintain the Union.
