The American Revolution is sometimes considered a civil war because it involved colonists who were divided in their loyalties between remaining under British rule and seeking independence. Families and communities were split in their support for either side, leading to internal conflict within the colonies.

Greece had won its independence from Turkey about 30 years prior to the American Civil War & would have had little (if any) involvement with it.
