I have heard of the use of "The War of Northern Aggression" used for the American Civil War - most, if not all, of the time by Southerners. While not sure when it first came about, it does exist in literature and, I would guess, history as well.
"Yankee", these days and IMHO, isn't really a negative term, but rather more as a way to show that its target is from the Northern U.S. In that sense, "Yankee Aggression" is synonymous. It's certainly better than using the historical term "
carpetbagger", which was more derogatory - although no idea on how many people will know of it without looking it up.
