Aren't Southern history books still teaching the War of Northern Aggression?

Anecdotal, but I'm from the south and learned it as the Civil War. However, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that many schools teach it as the "War of Northern Aggression" given how it's viewed in rural areas.


Not just in the south, I have a friend who grew up in eastern Washington State that I had to disabuse of that notion.
