Civil War

(Personal observation. I always knew of the conflict as the "American Civil War". I have learned that some refer to it as the "War of Northern Aggression" or the "War between the States". Now I read in the Virginian Pilot this morning that it is "Mr Lincoln's War". Why not call it the "War to Save the Union" or the "War to defeat Treason" or the "War to End Slavery". I guess it all depends on one's personal perspective. Today conservatives are calling the war started by George W. Bush as "Obama's War").
