During the US Civil War, the individual Southern states had internal issues with state's rights. This element, however, was not a leading cause for the South's defeat. In fact, it had a positive effect in that the individual states aided the war effort using their abilities at the local and state level to supplement the work of the central government in Richmond.

Was the Vietnam war a Civil War or a conquest?

It was a conquest. It was NOT a civil war because a CIVIL WAR is fought by ONE NATION against itself. Example: Two brothers fighting in their own home would be a family civil war; they are ONE FAMILY; the American Civil War (US Civil War) was ONE NATION fighting ITSELF. Which is also why the US Civil War was NOT a declared war...because President Lincoln (the North) could not very well be expected to declare war upon himself! NORTH Vietnam was a separate country; SOUTH Vietnam was a separate country.
