Can you sell property if you bought the same property off some one who has a civil suit against him?

As long as there is no lien on the property you can. If the civil suit is pending, then no judgment lien has attached to the property and you can buy it free and clear. If the civil suit relates directly to the property, the plaintiff may have put a lis pendens on it which is a type of pre-judgment lien that is permitted in some cases when the lawsuit is over the property itself. In addition, if the suit is for work done on the house by a contractor, there may be a mechanics' lien on the property. This is another pre-judgment lien that is permitted. In any event, if the civil suit is merely an action on a debt or a tort, the mere pendency of a civil suit does not create a lien on the property. Absent a lis pendens or mechanic's lien, the property may be purchased from the defendant and sold.

Where did Wilbur McClain say that the Civil War began ad where it ended?
Appomattox. The first Civil War battle in the Eastern US was fought on his farm. He was so distressed about the effect it had on his family that he sold his farm and bought a farm in a quiet out of the way location called Appomattox. By chance when Generals Lee and Grant met to sign the articles of surrender they met at his house. The Civil War started and ended in the same place, on Wilbur McClain's property.
