Great Britain was the mother country, so it was considered a civil war because the Americans were fighting their own mother country. The civil war within that was between the loyalists and the patriots.

Why is the American Revolution sometimes considered a Civil War?

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. This aspect of internal division and conflict is why the American Revolution can be seen as a civil war in addition to a war for independence.

The colonists were British just as much as the British in Barbados or the Isle of Wight. The only became "Americans" after they had gained their independence and been recognised as a new country.
