1. The Civil War--nothing civil about it. I prefer "War between the States"

[RB TexLa]

3. Organized Riots of the 1860's

They were nothing but criminals that the army had to be called in to take out.

4. my neighbours call it the "war of northern aggression"

[JohnnyBoots]

8. I call it, "The War of Southern Treason."

[Posteritatis]

9. I like "the Slaver's Revolt," myself (nt)

[Time for change]

2. "War on Terror"

I think a better name for that would be the "War of U.S. Imperial Conquest". I honestly don't believe that it has anything to do with combatting terror. It creates a lot more terror than it combats.
