When states are polite enough to formally secede before fighting their ex-sibling states...
should the fight be called a "civil war"? Doesn't fairness require that it be classified as a regular war between separate countries?

1. Secession isn't recognized in the U.S. There are no "separate countries."
That was pretty much settled a very long time ago.

2. There will be no formal secessions

However, I expect states and localities to formally take care of their own before they support others. Should that happen living in the rust belt, northern eastern cites, and snow country is going to seriously suck.
