The Townshend Acts didn't lead to the Civil War.

The Townshend Acts were passed by the British Parliament before the American Revolution; long story short, they tried to raise taxes on the American Colonists, and the American Colonists didn't think it was fair for Parliament to raise taxes on them but they couldn't vote in Parliament's elections- "no taxation without representation", as the saying goes.

So the Townshend Acts were one of the major contributing factors to the start of the American Revolution, not the US Civil War. You could make the case that without the Townshend Acts, there wouldn't have been a USA and then the USA couldn't have had its Civil War.
