Talk:American Civil War

One thing
This version is fine, except one little thing. Can we change "attempted to secede from the United States and form the Confederate States of America"? The CSA did exist, therefore they did succeed. The Union had no control over the South from 1861 to 1865, and while they were never recognised by other nations as existing, Taiwan has much the same trouble today. Does Taiwan exist? Did the CSA exist? If so, then they did more than attempt to secede. – AT2Howell 19:57, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
