It's still called the War of Northern Aggression by quite a few (and don't get me started on the awful Lost Cause nonsense).
I don't see Dany as a hypocrite so much as naive and purposely straightforward in her intentions. She's detested slavery for quite some time (partially due to her own role as a metaphorical slave to her brother and her husband), and while she clearly has never sat down and tried to actually understand the countries she is attacking (not to mention what happens to those countries after she has destroyed them), it is clear that she has somewhat high ideals just shitty ways of expressing or enacting them. As Archmage says, she is flawed.
