The Patricians were the more elite families of ancient Rome just like modern day upper class. The Plebeians were the workers or the middle classes of today. These helped keep Rome functioning because you need more then one type of person in your civilization (just like an ecosystem). This helped Rome become so great and powerful because of their great economy from different types of workers.

No the conflicts between patricians and plebeians did not lead to civil wars. The Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians ended in the mid-3rd century BC. The Roman civil wars stared in the 1st century BC. The civil wars involved a conflict between the populares, a political faction which supported the cause of the poor, and the optimates, a conservative political faction which supported the interests of the aristocracy. They also involved personal rivalries.
The patricians were the aristocrats and the plebeians were the commoners.
The war between the patricians and the plebeians was/is called "the Conflict of the Orders"
These are the two social classes in ancient Rome. Patricians were the wealthy land owners while the plebeians were the subordinate farmers, merchants and artisans. In early Rome only patricians could hold any political office, but that was changed by mass exoduses by plebeians rallying for political reform. The patrician class was so small the city of Rome in and of itself could not be run without the plebeians there to help.

Patricians and Plebeians
This is a very good question. If you don't know, Plebeians didn't have all the rights that patricians did. They had limited voices in the government and were less important then the patricians. The Plebeians didn't like what they had so they striked and marched out of Rome. They refused to return to Rome until they had the same rights as the Patricians did. So finally, the Patricians agreed and Plebeians had more rights but still not as much as the Patricians. Though, they made a 3rd group and elected leaders called "Tribunes". Since there were more Plebeians than Patricians, the Plebeians were allowed to control the 3rd group.
the merchants are the plebeians

The plebeians were the commoners. The patricians were the aristocracy.
The patricians were afraid because most of the population of Rome was plebeians and when the plebeians marched out of the city to camp at the end of the hill until the farms came to a halt. Without the plebeians, patricians feared that the army would be helpless if an enemy struck at Rome. The patricians had little choice but to compromise.
