The North's objective in the US Civil War was to end the Southern rebellion as soon as possible. Doing this would unify the nation and problems like slavery could be more easily solved once the Confederates could no longer fight the war.

The North wanted to keep the country together. If the South had remained separate, Britain could have taken the South over and then the North.

How is the syrian civil war similar and different from the first civil war?

The Syrian civil war is totally different from the US civil war. Here is the rational for this statement: A. The objective of the rebel forces in Syria is to replace the central Syrian Government. The objective of the South in the US Civil War was not to replace or overthrow the Federal government, but to leave the Union and establish a new country called the Confederate States of America; B. I the US Civil War, a new nation, the Confederacy was established. It lasted only 4 years, but it was a new nation. In comparison, the rebels in Syria have been unable to do what the US South did, but it's not their objective, which is to replace the current regime; and C. In Syria, the "family" of dictators over the past 20 plus years, has indeed been a dictatorship. In the US Civil War, as angry as some Southerners were, they were part of a "constitutional" Federal Government. The Confederacy also had a constitution similar to the Federal one. At the time of the US Civil War, neither constitution, Union or Confederate outlawed slavery. Taken as a whole, & except for the fact that a "conflict" is in Syria and was in the USA in 1861, no real comparison can be made. Surely however, it can be seen that the US Civil War is vastly different from the one in Syria. One last note here (although many more differences can be noted ) the US Civil War, and if I can be allowed some leeway on this next sentence: The US Civil War was between 2 separate governments and the conflicts involved huge armies. In the US Civil War, slavery was an issue. In Syria, there are no slaves, however, in a dictatorship, the people have no true chances to "vote" a dictator out of power. In the US Civil War, Lincoln was re-elected, however there were Union candidates running against Lincoln in the 1864 elections.

Is Vietnam technically a war or a major battle?

The dictionary defines two (or more) recognized nations fighting each other as a war. A battle is one engagement or series of engagements over the same objective (a hilltop or city for example). And technically the American Civil War is considered the "War of the Rebellion" in the US Government archives. Neither the US Civil War nor the Vietnam War were declared wars.
