When I was small, I believed that a war was when two teams (that for some reason looked like the swarves from Snow White) got together and played tug-o-war. They did this in the dirt with a chalked ring around the playing field. When I heard about Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, and pictured him standing on the side lines cheering his team on.
