The American civil war was a failed revolution. It was states rights vs federal supremacy. A second American civil war would be the same conflict with only slightly different geographic lines.

Alternate view: there was no attempt to overthrow and abolish the federal government, only to separate from it. I wouldn't consider it a revolution but there's a degree to which this is an argument over semantics.

Same could be said for the first American revolution. They didn't seek to depose the king of England, just to separate from the crown.

This is true. Depends on your definition of the terms.
