That depends on which civil war (ie in which country) you are asking about.
The first military leader to march his troops into the city of Rome was Lucius Cornelius Sulla. This happened in 88 BC during a dispute between the leaders of Rome's two rival political factions, Sulla and Marius. The dispute escalated into a military conflict which historians have called Sulla's First Civil War.
The two key generals from Louisiana during the Civil War were P.G.T. Beauregard and Benjamin Butler. Beauregard served as a general in the Confederate Army and was known for his role in the first battle of Bull Run and the defense of New Orleans. In contrast, Benjamin Butler was a general in the Union Army, famous for his controversial actions as the military governor of New Orleans after its capture in 1862. Their contrasting loyalties highlight the divided allegiances within Louisiana during the conflict.
General Pierre Beauregard CSA was a Louisianan-born American military officer, politician, inventor, writer, civil servant, and the first prominent general of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War.
Civil wars occurred in Rome during the first century because of growing ambitions of the leaders, who commanded their own armies, soon led to another civil war.

Spending money on military matters.
The US military draft began in the US Civil War (1861-1865).
During the American Revolution, some states resorted to the draft to get citizens to join the state militia. The United States first employed national conscription during the Civil War. I believe President Madison had tried to institute a draft while he was President but Congress would not approve it. The Union conscription law led to violent draft demonstrations in New York City, in 1863. Several people were killed during the Draft Riots.
