Best Answer

The American Revolutionary War created a new form of government, a Federal form of government. That was revolutionary.

The American Civil War was not a Revolutionary War. It was a Civil War. It was brother against brother and state against state. It killed many men on both sides. It tore up the infrastructure of the Southern part of the United States. While many slaves were freed during the war, most of the slaves would be freed after the war ended. Unlike the Revolutionary War, which began "With the shot heard round the world," the social changes that came from the Civil War came after the war ended.
