I've also heard it referred to as "The War of Northern Aggression".

well amongst the born Southern, the Civil War was referred to as "the recent unpleasantness".

Yes, they do have selective memories.  I once mentioned in passing the 
war of 1812 to a pretty intelligent friend from England, and he said, "I 
never heard of it, we didn't fight the US then".  He did some research 
and came back a bit shocked that they didn't ever mention it in the 
history texts in his schools.

Jim.
