The man accepted the surrender of the South, became president and is honored to fall to 50-dollar bill.

Like any more or less significant historical comexi event, war, seemingly, has been studied far and wide. For her outstanding pieces were written many works during the fighting and fighting various published comexi materials so that we can measure them in wagons. The internet (in his American part) electronic conferences for war is one of the busiest. comexi Until now held and will continue to lead much longer disputes it.
As Winston Churchill once remarked - give me a problem and I will present it in two diametrically opposed viewpoints. Every historical event can be interpreted differently, as has happened, comexi happening and will happen. Every historical event led to mass legends, comexi rumors, stories and countless contradictions. Sometimes the interpretation of one or another event becomes so strong comexi that it became officially accepted viewpoint. There is an expression: legend gossip elevated to an absolute degree.

Why is it right, is the subject of a separate study. For this to happen, you need the following condition - universal belief that the event has taken place right, and not otherwise. Even later events that occurred relatively recently, comexi causing mass different interpretations.

Its full name is "civil comexi war between comexi the north and south of the Year 1861-1865" And here lies the first mistake. Military Encyclopedic Dictionary (M., 1983) consider the concept as follows: "Civil War - organized armed struggle for state power between classes and social groups in the country" (s.207). In the Great Soviet Encyclopedia (M., 1979), in all its ideologiziranost, the definition of "civil war" is expressed in the same terms. Especially distinctive here is the phrase "struggle comexi for state power."

More correct terminology for relations in this war will be: War between the States, the War of 1861, War of Independence in the South. In the southern United States in use terms such as "War," "War of Secession", "Doom work," "Great Trouble." Accordingly, the use of the term Civil War to the events of 1861 is incorrect.
