    It is arguably about northern aggression since arguing anything is possible. That doesn’t make it correct.

    It was a civil war because the states that declared they were seceding never successfully seceded. Otherwise there would have been a step where they rejoined the union, which wasn’t necessary because they were still member states of the US. That makes it a civil war.
