The phrase "reconquer the Confederate States of America" seems inappropriate here -- in a ''Civil'' War, when each set of states or territories is a part of a fractured whole (Federalist or otherwise), for either side to win would not seem to me to be for them to ''conquer'' the other!

:Oh, thanks for pointing that out. "reconquer" is a little biased. But right now I can't think of a better one. Which term would you suggest? [[User:Yi Zhe Wu|Yi Zhe Wu]] 21:36, 7 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
