@Sampiro

Other times we assume that Civil War Battles that did not involve Robert E. Lee signifies without further address that it is specifically the U.S. Civil War as Lee did not participate in any other, that Civil War is capitalized (thus a specific civil war and not civil wars in general). Had the category been Civil War Victories by Roundheads I think most Dopers would have known without qualification it was a reference to the English Civil War, the only other civil war I can think of off hand fought in a country where English is the first language; Canada hasn’t had a proclaimed Civil War yet (though there’s still plenty of time and I here Saskatchewan is planning something) but books have been written on its significance in the U.S. Civil War and I’d wager if a Canadian heard the term “Civil War movie” they’d think Lincoln before they thought Cromwell. Had it been “Battles in the Bolivian Civil War” I think it just would have set there for a few days.

Lee served with distinction in the Mexican War, both as an aide to Gen. Winfoeld Scott,
and on the battle field, suffering at least one wound. I believe he was a Captain at the
start of the war; he ended it as a brevet Colonel.
