Best Answer

A real revolution is where one group tries to overthrow the existing government of its country and take over themselves. In the American "Revolution" the American Patriots were not trying to take over England, they wanted to separate their land from England. This makes the American Revolution more of a colonial insurrection, or colonial rebellion. Similarly, a civil war is much the same as a revolution - two groups contending for control of ALL of a single country. The south in the US Civil War did not want to control the north, merely to separate from it. The real name given in the Official Records of the "Civil War" published by the US government is "The War of the Rebellion". Like so many other things about that war, nobody can agree on much, not even what to call it.
