According to Lincoln, the South had rebelled, not seceded.

Even though the Confederate States declared their independence from the US and formed their own country/government, Lincoln never formally recognized the Confederacy as an independent nation. This is why her refers to the war as the Civil War, showing that this is a war between two members of the same country.
