The main difference between the American Civil War and the American Revolutionary War was that the Revolutionary War was fought between the British Empire and the American Colonies, the latter of which declared independence; and the "Civil War" was fought between the United States, and the Confederated States of America--two separate and distinct countries. So, in actuality, the "Civil War" was not a civil war, since it was a war between to countries.
Only by administrative functions; like the American Civil War (also known as the US Civil War, but officially called the "War of Rebellion") fought from 1861-1865, neither the American Civil War nor Vietnam War were declared wars.
Neither the American Civil War nor Vietnam were declared wars. The US Civil War couldn't be declared because "how can you declare against yourself?" Vietnam couldn't be declared because that meant total war, which meant fighting to win using any available weapon; which meant using the "Atomic Bomb." (And using nukes was out!)
No need to "over-use" that "undeclared war..." term. If folks go by that term, people will begin to have troubles defining the American Civil War (aka US Civil War); for, much to the chagrin of Civil War buffs...the Civil War wasn't a declared war either. And by the way, the Civil War was officially called the "War of the Rebellion" (NOT the Civil War). One more note: there hasn't been a US declared war since WWII! So who won the Vietnam War? North Vietnam won the war!
