The 'North' and the 'South' were not different nations. I'd base my argument around defining a nation (no easy job).
Then, go onto who benefits from calling it "War of aggression"? it’s a highly emotive name. In what ways did events fit that description?
And Who benefits from calling it "The Civil War"? It was indeed a civil war by all fair definitions, but has that term been used to gain some partisan political goal?
Who/and why do some people object to the title "War of aggression"?
