Do you think a prolonged civil war would lead to a collapse of the dollar? I think it would, the US cannot afford to fund a civil war.
The combination of money printing, declining GDP and declining foreign investment would most likely lead to currency collapse.

Didn't work out so well for the Confederate states in 1861. Their currency was worthless in a very short space of time, mainly due to the Union Naval blockade restricting the export of cotton.
If there was a civil war in the US again, it would probably go badly for the side that couldn't get access to international markets. But I don't believe a second civil war would be one based on the right to cecession, it would most likely be a fight for control of the Government and be a protracted asymmetric guerilla campaign funded by drug money, and the proceeds of terrorism.
It would be nasty and brutal.
