"By the end of the 19th century, groups like the Daughters of the Confederacy & the United Confederate Veterans were promoting a new option. The War Between the States. To...promote national reconciliation, members of Congress softened the government's official terminology for the war...and replaced War of the Rebellion with Civil War." Even our term for the war was chosen by the Confederates guys, wtf. 🤬
