The American revolution was a civil war.

If you count every time a colony wanted independence as a civil war then you're going to have to move Britain to the bottom panel

A minority of the colonists (40%) wanted independence. 20% of colonists opposed independence. A brutal war was fought between them. No less a civil war than in Russia or Ireland.
