What would the "American Civil War" have been called if the South had won?

Ugh the war of Northern Agression is the most popular term I've heard among those Confederate fanboys. This article contains a particularly horrid number of inventive ways to talk about the war, or at least a 'Southern' perspective of the North :rolleyes:

A pretty distasteful article EC, but, then again, Bunker's whole world-view is just that.
 
In North:

The Southern Rebellion
The Southern War of Independence
The Civil War
The Confederate War

In South:

The War of Independence
The Second War of Independence
The War Between the States

I doubt that a successful confederacy would use terms such as the "War of Northern Aggression" if they succeeded.

Internationally, I suspect the favored term would be the American Civil War.
 
The name "The War of Northern Aggression" is particularly sore-losery. "You started it! Why'd ya have to be so meeeeean?!"

I'd go for "the Confederate War of Independence" or "the Confederate Revolution".

Question: how long did it take for Britain to begin calling the American Revolution "the American Revolution" or "the American War of Independence"?
