With regards to the US Civil War, many historians prefer to use the term of The War Between the States. For some historians, what is generally called the US Civil War, is not an accurate use of the term "civil war".

No need to "over-use" that "undeclared war..." term.

And by the way, the Civil War was officially called the "War of the Rebellion" (NOT the Civil War). One more note: there hasn't been a US declared war since WWII! So who won the Vietnam War? North Vietnam won the war!

Why did they name the US Civil War the civil war?

The US war was "a civil war" in that factions within the country fought for supremacy.It is likely that US ethnocentrism made it unnecessary to come up with any other name, the English Civil War having at least three names and few other contemporary conflicts having the same drastic territorial schism. In the North, the war was referred to by some participants as the "War of the Rebellion", but all of them have since passed away. Another alternate was "War Between the States".The most common international term is American Civil War, to differentiate it from the English or Spanish wars
