Okay.

But what is referred to as the American Civil War wasn't a civil war at all.

A civil was is a domestic conflict for the control of a country's government.

The south didn't want to control America's government. It was perfectly happy to leave the American government in place. It simply didn't want to be under its thumb any longer.

That's why I see shaping up again in America. Although it's not a division between north and south. It's between the left and right.
