Any time you hear that phrase unironically, ask what war that is, and then go “oh you mean the Rebellion of Southern Cowards? That’s the only way I’ve heard it phrased other than civil war”
I may not be a descendant of William Tecumseh Sherman, but I grew up in the same area, and maybe it’s just something about the water or the geography but I really feel an urge for Southern BBQ and a brisk walk to the ocean when Southern Cowards start speaking up again.
And yet despite that, I would say that the two best things from the South were invented by black people- the music, from blues to jazz to rock and roll and soul food. Not the best revenge, but still some good revenge. A hell of a lot more people listen to rock music than listen to music invented by white people.
I’m sure there are some rednecks who call it that, but I’d be interested to know if there is a single, modern day public school text book that calls it that.
I’m surprised it’s not called the States’ Rights War.
“but muh heritage” mfrs when I practice my heritage (it’s burning confederate flags and killing traitors):
States Rights to what, pray tell?

Because only confed apologists use that term, and to my knowledge there are no confed apologists in Iceland.
There’s almost 400,000 people on Iceland. I’d say there’s probably at least one. Maybe even two.
Maybe even three
Let’s not go overboard.
It is, but not very often outside of the American south. (They prefer “The War of Northern Aggression” though.)

In parts of the South it’s been rebranded as the “War of Northern Aggression” 🙄
