The Civil War
A beard in which the only bare portion of skin is that of the chin. Intimidating beyond all belief, especially when coupled with reading glasses.

The name is derived from the period in which the style of beard thrived most, the civil war.

Those who wear the Civil War as their facial hair style of choice are 93% more likely to murder and/or speak in colonial English.

"Man, that is an awesome beard."

"Its actually The Civil War, ass wipe. Note the connecting mustache but lack of chin hair."

"Sorry! Thats an awesome Civil War!"

"Time to die!"

Civil War
A conflict where members of the same nation or theoretical national entity kill each other in a large scale, organized matter, usually for reasons that will continue to be extremely important to both sides for reasons that make no freaking sense to any countrymen who's ancestors did not participate.

More often then not, both sides' descendants will take every chance possible to bring it up just to cause further bad feelings. The various factors that lead to such madness will usually be reduced to a one sentence statement by both sides' descendants.

Jim: The Civil War was about slavery. Tom: No, it was about the economic burned imposed upon the south. Isaac: Whatever. You easterners just killed a bunch of people then made up a reason later.

Civil War
In reference to the American Civil War:

Also known as The War of Northern Aggression. This conflicted started when the Federal Government overstepped its boundaries and interfered in the affairs of sovereign states. Slavery, while an controversial issue, was not the cause of the war, most people in the South were impoverished, and had not slaves. People often justify the war, saying the war's purpose was to "free the slaves." In reality, it was part of an over-arching Federalist conspiracy.
