No, it was not. A civil war is when two or more factions of a country fight against one another in an effort to claim political power or political clout after the fighting. A revolutionary war, like the American Revolution, is fought with the intention of the rebelling forces seeking to gain independence, not necessarily drive political points home or seize power.
