William, I am not sure what the question is but.... When that many men on both sides IN UNIFORM and out of uniform plus women and child, black and white and all those poor horses were dead, you can call it what you want but to me it is a war, not a rebellion and not a recent unpleasantness.......body shrouds are now called body bags.....dead is dead..... I think most of the southern people were duped into it for what ever reasons (I hate to even think about that) their elected representatives had in mind. The end justifies the means.......in my opinion...... jerree
