Never heard it called that, and I have lived in the South for 70+ years. I have heard WWI referred to that way.
I am aware that many Southerners-even young ones-refer to the Civil War as The War Between the States, thus refusing to acknowledge a treasonous rebellion. They also vociferously refuse to acknowledge that slavery was the cause. It’s a clan of deliberate ignorance.
There’s a reason that many old-school Southerners still refer to the Civil War as “The Great War.”

It was a Great War for good reasons, not to mention the end of slavery and the cost in lives and treasure.
