I think the War of Secession is a far better name for the conflict. I believe that's how we used to call it in Spanish but I could be wrong.

A civil war happens when two sides compe for central control of a nation, doesn't make much sense to call it that when one side didn't have any interest in doing so.

Also fun fact after the "Civil War" the United States ceased to be plural and became a singular noun (e.g. The united States are -> The United States is).
