Any nation fighting "itself" is a civil war. And many nations (countries) thru-out the world and thru-out history have had them. If this question is pertaining to the US; then the only wars that were similar would be the American Revolutionary War, in that it was fought against it's "parent" nation; another words it was similar to a nation "fighting itself"...being illegal and a non-declared war. The second similar war would be the Vietnam War, even though it was not "technically" a civil war...as no nation involved was fighting itself. However there were many more similarities to the US Civil War than there were to the American Revolutionary War:

1. US Civil War & Vietnam both had the military draft (the first & the last)

2. Both had a Brown Water Navy (Riverine Warfare)

3. Both were fought between a North & South

4. The North clearly won the war in both cases

5. The South clearly lost the war in both cases

6. A US President was assassinated with a bullet to the head in both cases

7. A US Vice President named Johnson took office in both cases

8. Both wars divided the American people

9. Both wars treated their returning veterans who supported the South cruelly

10. Both wars had anti-war protesters and draft riots

11. Both wars had legal draft dodgers (deferrments)

12. Both wars were UN-DECLARED wars
