Is north south east and west capitalized when referring to North America South America etc?

The words north and south, in North America and South America, are capitalized because they form part of a proper noun, the name of the continent. When referring to "the east half of North America," for example, the word east is not capitalized. The proper noun is North America and east just describes a part of North America.

What needs to be capitalized in janes family lived in the south during the civil war?

Jane, South, and Civil War are all proper nouns in this context and should be capitalized. South is not always a proper noun, but since we're talking about the South as a specific geographic area and not south, the cardinal direction, it is. Because it is the South, it's a proper noun. The same goes for Civil War. There are other civil wars, but because this refers to, "the Civil War," it means a specific one.
