Question

The Civil War has also been called the "War Between the States" and the "War for Southern Independence." Which of the three titles do you find most apt? Why?

Answer 1

Answer ↓

The Civil War

Explanation ↓

The Civil War (1861-1865) in the USA was a war against slavery.

The current president of the United States at that time was President Abraham Lincoln, whose goal was to abolish slavery. However, the southern states relied heavily on slavery.

That led to the Civil War, the bloodiest conflict in US History.

Now, a civil war is fought between the states.

It has also been called "The war for Southern Independence".

However, the southern states lost the war and did not gain independence.

So the name I find most apt and appropriate is :

The Civil War

Answer 2

The Civil War

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, a civil war is one fought within one nation, and that' what it was. Calling it the war for southern independence doesn't really make sense considering they lost the war and never actually got independence. Calling it the war between states is just like calling it the definiton of what a civil war is, so you may as well just call it a civil war
