I'm allergic to anyone who says, "The war of northern aggression." The civil war was fought over slavery. And yes, I heard that phrase from the owner of the bed and breakfast we stayed at within the last three years. Almost every time I have heard that term used it was used in half hearted jest. Not saying that it is the case in your experience but more than once I have seen a southerner use it to, as we say down here "get your goat". I have meet few who seriously use that term and I own a 68 bronco, a gun, go hunting and fishing and generally associate with the stereotype that would use such a term. If someone used that sentence seriously they would most assuredly be laughed out of the camp. Contrary to popular belief most guys like that are libertarians and pretty well informed about how they are getting screwed by both sides (Contrary to popular belief the religious right down here are not the "rednecks"), they like to joke and are the type of people who would say "war of Norther Aggression" to a northerner just to get a rise out of them. They joke with each other in the same manner about other subjects.
