The US civil war is somewhat sad from my perspective.
After almoust 200 years of civil war in Germany (between the small states) the conclusion learned was that every political leadership in the future should always avoid such divisions to take place.
After the Austrian civil war in 1923 and the birth of the second republic after WW2 in 1954 the two main political parties created a "contract of friendship" in which they swore to never call for violence against the other again. Which now is a kind of "code of honor" in the republic followed by every party.
I guess the disapointment in the North after victory and the resentment in the South towards the North because of the brutality with which the North pilleged and occupied the South, prevented any reconsiliation.
Or am I wrong with seing this that way?
That being said, I think it highly unlikely that civil war will break out in the US again.
There certainly remains a bit of animosity there over north and south, but that's basically over. Americans are too divided for there to be a civil war here thats anything resembling our other. But civil unrest and popular uprising over the increasing attacks on civil liberties is somewhat of a potential problem.
