Hmmm... The Civil War...
I was born and raised in Europe, and while we didn't go through the American history as thoroughly at school as we should have - in my opinion - one thing I recall is that they called the war between the northern and southern states as the "Civil War". Is this the Revolutionary War that you speak of?
I remember talking to my wife, a Texan, about the Civil War and if I remember correctly she said she was conflicted as to which war I meant, because she had come to know that war by another name.
Also, if someone has books to recommend that could give me a better understanding as to the different wars etc in America, that'd be helpful - and I mean books that aren't overly detail-oriented and are relatively easy to read.
PS. I hope this isn't jacking his thread, I just didn't want to start a whole new thread on a subject matter so close to this one. Let me know if this is thread jacking and I'll do so.
