The main issue may have been states' rights... but specifically it was the states' right to keep slavery. [[User:GodlessLiberal|GodlessLiberal]] 19:20, 23 March 2007 (EDT)

As far as battles are concerned, they will be called by both names where practical. '''First Bull Run''' will also have '''First Manassas''' side-by-side in a "North/South" fashion when that info is presented, and so on for any other battle where that battle is known by both names.

== Deadliest war ==
== liest war ==
The article states the Civil War was "[t]he deadliest war ever fought in American history...". Does the term "American history" confine the observation to American civil wars? If so there really only has been one that I am aware of (so it's not much of a comparison). Also, I understand that the US had some involvement in the First and Second World Wars for example. I think about 50 million died in the Second World War. Was that war part of American history? In which case it was more deadly than the Civil War. Or does the word "deadliest" only apply to American casualties? --[[User:Horace|Horace]] 21:59, 25 March 2007 (EDT)
