The civil war wasn't a war for freedom because they already had their freedom. It's just the North was trying to abolish slavery and the south was trying to keep slavery and make one union into two, and make two governments for each side. And the Revolutionary war was a war for freedom. It was against anothr country that was holding the United States from breaking apart with the British. The Civil War was against themselves, so it was "a war against ourselves, not a war against somebody else, but ourselves."

What were the similarities between the American Revolutionary War and the US Civil War?

The Revolutionary War and the Civil war were both fought in the name of Unity. Also, the causes of these to wars are very similiar. The Revolutionary War was caused in part by taxes that angered the colonists. Later, before the Civil War, people were being angered by the high tariffs. The Tariff of Abomination, for example. Also, both wars were a fight for freedom. In the Revolutionary War, the colonists were in pursuit of freedom from the British. One of the reasons behind the Civil War was the desire of freedom for slaves. Independence is another key in both of these wars. The colonists fighting in the Revolutionary War wanted to be independent from the British. Some of the people fighting in the Civil War were fighting partially because of the compact theory. They wanted to be able to leave the union if they did not agree with something that was a part of it.
