 I personally feel that World War II has overtaken the Civil War as THE American war. Just like how baseball is no longer the most popular American sport. I know a number of people who are rabid WWII fans but not really interested in the ACW.

I think to create a large upswing in interest the media would have to launch a massive campaign to get the word out like Tom Brokaw did with The Greatest Generation.  However, I am of the opinion that if the media did do this it would be a totally one sided celebration.
