Yes they did but not in the American one, in the British one. The only involvement in the American one was trade, running arms and "luxury" goods through the blockades for the South. However attempts to involve it in the war though the cotton trade failed as there were alternative supplies through the British Empire and it was trading corn with the North. The CSS Alabama was built secretly by a British shipyard for the South capturing 60+ "prizes" during it's history.

First, the definition of a Civil war is when two groups within a nation go to war. So yes, Britain and the United States have had their own Civil Wars. Neither were involved with the other during both Civil Wars.
