A civil war is a war in which parties within the same culture, society or nationality fight for political power or control of an area. Some civil wars are also categorized as revolutions when major societal restructuring is a possible outcome of the conflict. An insurgency, whether successful or not, is likely to be classified as a civil war by some historians if, and only if, organized armies fight conventional battles. Other historians state the criteria for a civil war is that there must be prolonged violence between organized factions or defined regions of a country (conventionally fought or not).\n\nUltimately the distinction between a "civil war" and a "revolution" or other name is arbitrary, and determined by usage. The successful insurgency of the 1640s in England which led to the (temporary) overthrow of the monarchy became known as the English Civil War. The successful insurgency of the 1770s in British colonies in America, with organized armies fighting battles, came to be known as the American Revolution. In the United States, and in American-dominated sources, the term 'the civil war' almost always means the American Civil War, with other civil wars noted or inferred from context.\n\nWhat is generally agreed upon is that factors such as nationalism, religion, and ideology, played little role in pre-modern civil wars. While it is quite common for nationalists to read past revolts, such as those of Scotland against England as early stirrings of nationalism, this is a somewhat suspect notion. Religion is more contentious, there are some civil wars that can be seen as fueled by religion in early years, such as the Jewish Revolts against Rome, but these can also be seen as revolts by a servile people against their oppressors or uprisings by local notables in an attempt to gain independence.

A group of people living by our modern laws and morality might have been able to avoid the American Civil War.  I'm not sure that the people of the day could have come up with a solution.  The South wanted to secede because what the federal government was doing was going to destroy their economy.  It did, but a successful secession would have destroyed both economies.

"Godoompah" & "Starry Eyes" are correct.  The Civil War was an unmitigated disaster for both sides.  If that doesn't make sense to you; if you really can't understand how both sides could lose, then just try this simple three-step process....\n\n1) Open your eyes and read the deathtoll:\n    \n    120,000 killed in action \n    240,000 died of other causes \n  ~360,000 TOTAL Union dead and/or missing \n\n     95,000 killed in action \n   165,000 died of other causes \n ~260,000 TOTAL Confederate dead and/or missing \n\n  ~620,000 Union and Confederate soldiers \n   UNKNOWN total Northern and Southern civilian\n   casualties \n  \n2) Open your mind and think about it....\n\n3) Open your heart and feel about it....\n\nIf you really do this, neither the Civil War nor any of the other Overklass-generated orgies of mass murder will ever look the same again.....\n\nBefore some damn fool says so, I'm not a pacifist, a communist, or even a liberal ; I'm just a middle-aged guy who lived long enough to see through some of the crap our Beloved Leaders keep throwing at us to keep us all permanently mind-f***ed....\n\nNimadan

Good job! Evidently, you've done your homework! \n\nMany aren't aware that the American Civil War was "NOT" about slavery. Nor are many aware that slaves were still being held as private property in the North during that time. Abraham Lincoln owned a slave during the war, and Union General U.S. Grant owned 4. \n\nThe war was, from the Southern standpoint, over States Rights, i.e., a state had authority over the federal government within it's own borders. And also, to defend against an illegal military invasion from the North. \n\nBut it's always the victors in war that write the history, isn't it?

You are going to have to restate your question.  And which civil war are you talking about?  There have been many (not everyone on this service will assume that you are talking about the War of the Roses, like I am).

I think I understand your question.  To engage in a civil war, it would take the participation of an enemy to the "conservatives" (e.g., the "liberals").  Fundamentalist right-wing ed conservative radicals are paid no more attention by educated liberals than the grasshoppers jumping from weed to weed in the sunny summertime, so the civil war isn't likely to transpire.

CIVIL WAR\n\n•  1860-61: Causes and Goals \n\nWhat caused the Civil War was hatred of slavery and disgust with abolitionism, anger at the power of slaveowners and fear of slave insurrections, plus southern nationalism and northern nationalism, plus a myriad of slights and insults, fears and forebodings. Historians still are trying to sort out all the causes. In order to understand the military strategies employed, it is necessary to see how the causes leaders perceived were tied to the war aims they pursued. Journalist Edmund Stedman revealed a common sentiment in the North:  more…..\n\nhttp://tigger.uic.edu/~rjensen/cw-1.htm\n\nFrom April 1861 to April 1865, a brutal civil war was fought between the Confederate States of America and the United States of America.

This sounds like a homework question to me. Sorry, I won't help you. I feel you need to read BOTH and you come up with the answer. You need to know these things.\n\nI will tell you this. The North distorted the truth about the Civil War or War between the States.  The war was NOT fought because of slavery. The north had slaves too. They were fighting over textiles, cotton, land, resources it was all economic.
