Personally, I think the South should have been allowed to leave in peace.

Was the South Right?
What two nations?

Perhaps there is a clue in the term civil war, doesnt that mean a war between factions or areas of one nation?

Nor is it the last or most epic, what about war between Britain and the various groups who have struggled for freedom for Ireland?
