"Postponing" the civil war
I have learned alot from thist article. But I wish the word 'postponed' would be changed. It makes the civil war seem inevitable, and implies that the alternative 'undivided house' was not a real possibility.

So could you change that, please?

 * @Sbioggio Do you have a suggested alternative wording? I would argue that postpone, or delay, or a synonym remains appropriate. While at the time the war might not have seemed inevitable, we have the value of hindsight that shows that the war happened nonetheless. CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 06:51, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
