Well,
the country was a unified, separated north and south, fought a war and
then was united again. So the whole war was against people living in
what was once the United States of America and remains today thanks to
Lincoln not allowing the North to back-down to the needs of the south.
This is a civil war, a war fought between the people of the same nation
with different wants. There is nothing civilized about any war except
maybe that soldiers wear clothing. A civil war is a war is a fight against our own people. One place separated by two beliefs leads to a fight between them or a "war between states."
