The civil war wasn't north vs south, it was pro-treaty vs anti-treaty. In some cases it was sons against their fathers and siblings against each other

1922 - 1923. The film 'the wind that shakes the barley' is based at this time and stars Cillian Murphy

Glad you clarified this for people. Many don't seem to get this, and yet they speak about the topic as if they're completely informed.
All you have to do is Google it to see that it wasn't the case but people are clearly in too much of a rush to show off how deep their "knowledge" of something they're completely uninformed on is. See the same thing with people on reddit talking about the Troubles.
