:Have to disagree with you there. Lincoln himself used the term "civil war" before the war even started, in his first innaugural address in 1861. He knew exactly what it was, and what was coming. The term was used throuhout the war and after the war; it was used extensively by participents on both sides, and quite frankly it would be better to listen to them first, then a bunch of revisionist historians today.
