Reconquer?

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? Yi Zhe Wu 21:36, 7 May 2007 (CDT)

At this point, I'd just suggest cutting the phrase "a war led by President Abraham Lincoln to reconquer the Confederate States of America, a confederacy of eleven Southern states that seceded from the Union" since the wikilink to American Civil War will take care of that; the appositive phrase isn't needed. Russell Potter 21:40, 7 May 2007 (CDT)

Done. Also I added some explanation to copperheads, if anyone think it's redundant feel free to delete that one as well. Thanks! Yi Zhe Wu 21:42, 7 May 2007 (CDT)
