Why was the Civil War called the Civil War?
Definition: A war between 2 or more parts of one country
The American Civil War was called the Civil War because it was the war between the Northern and Southern states of America./// The "Civil War" in this context is an inaccurate name. 1)After the 11 states seceeded,created and ratified their Constitution and The Confederate States of America was born,it was no longer one country but two.2)A civil war is a conflict in which the warring sides are fighting for control over one-and-the-same government,that is not what happened 1861-1865. The Confederacy had no interest in taking over Washington,D.C. -it had its' own Capitol,first at Montgomery,AL then at Richmond,VA. The War for Southern Independence is an accurate name to call it.
Because it was literally a "War Between the States." The war took place between the Confederate States of America (which consisted of almost all of the southern US states) and the United States of America (which consisted of the northern US states).
Both of which used to be one whole Union, but the US tried to force the CS (Confederate States) to abolish slavery. The Confederates did not like this and thus, the great Civil War began.
The northern political powers began passing legislation that made life difficult for the agricultural based economy in the south, mainly with the restrictions on slavery. The southern states then decided that they wanted to separate from the Union and form their own governmental powers lest their economy be crushed by the Union. The confederacy began attacking the Union military but were unsuccessful in their efforts because of their lack of resources.
