[QUOTE]Originally posted by B.J.: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [qb]The Southern supporters referred to the Civil War as the Second American Revolution.[/qb][/QUOTE]Never heard that one. I always heard it as the War of Northern Aggression. (Note: I grew up in Georgia, but I didn't hear the Civil War referred to as the above until I was in my 20's.) I would imagine "Clone War" would be the popular way of referring to the war later when the Empire is oppressive and in disfavor among the population, but not necessarily before. Thinking about it some, I can see a few reasons why you would refer to a war that way. One is although Yoda was doing his duty for the Republic, he didn't seem to pleased about going to war. Some people in the US that disagree with the War on Terror refer to it as the Bush War. Another is sometimes some aspect of a war is so new or different that it gets refered to that way. I've heard the first Gulf War refered to many different ways, including the CNN War, the Iraq Mini-Series, and the First Air War. Similarly, having a clone army may be so different that that's how it's remembered. B.J. [/QB][/QUOTE]
