You can murder a person without saying you're murdering him, but that doesn't mean you're not murdering him. What Lincoln did to the South was definitely war, whether declared or not. Going in without a declaration was just another part of the unconstitutionality of it... Sorry, I know this isn't the place to fight that war again, but I had to get it in. :D You’re right, war wasn’t declared… but that didn’t make it right.

War was not declared on the South…but that’s another issue for another time (a past time, it’s been done on Gen J way too long now…).

Is because it was not a revolution: it was a war between two countries. The English practically made America a country when the declared war on the Thirteen Colonies - you can't declare war on yourself, so they were basically acknowledging that America was no longer their own, and they wanted it back.
