The South is by no means a monolith. I don't expect schools in, say, Atlanta, Richmond, and Fayetteville to be teaching the same things. In fact, schools in NYC and Nassau County often don't teach the same things despite being in the same metro area, due to how highly balkanized school districts are.

So it seems like that particular term has fallen out of favor (coming into prominence and usage during the last breaths of segregation) but there are still alternate names like "War Between the States". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_the_American_Civil_Wa...
