Am I the only one that thinks avoiding the usual name "Civil War" sounds totally crankish and needlessly makes the wiki sound neoconfederate and possibly racist? I don't think anyone really takes anything special from the "civil" in the name, as if that meant it was a friendly or good war or something. I've been reading mises.org for more than two years and I still cringe every time I hear it. Yeah I know the war wasn't really about slavery, but we have the arguments to prove that to the skeptical; so why send them running and screaming away thinking we might be KKK revivalists here when that is completely unnecessary? I mean, I have ''never'' heard "The War Between the States" used by any non-libertarian, so it is completely nonstandard. By the same logic we should rename everything, but we don't. We only rename this, and it looks aping ridiculous. Look at it from the point of view of some innocent person just walking in here and wandering what all this classical liberalism stuff is about.
