Doug Casey makes the point that the so-called American Civil War was not a civil war fighting for control of the U.S. government, rather it was a war of secession. I'm going to start calling it the War of Secession. You've got to start calling things what they are.

It could be argued that the American Revolutionary War was not really a revolution, it was actually a war of secession from the British Empire. Therefore, we could call it the first war of secession, which would make the so-called Civil War the second war of secession. The first war was successful, of course, and the second was unsuccessful.
