The Civil War occurred AFTER the American Revolution, so those thirteen "original" colonies had long since become STATES. At the time the Civil War broke out in 1861, there were 33 states, of which 18 were "free" states and 15 were "slave" states.

the weapons used during the civil war were not only for killing people but to get the union back together and win the war.
They were only bound together by the war and the fact that they couldn't go back to England during the war.
Nothing happened specifically in the 1740s to show how strong the British were. In that decade, they took part in the War of the Austrian Succession, but the ensuing Peace Treaty of 1748 was no diplomatic triumph for the British. The only event showing British strenghth was that in this decade, they pushed the French and the Dutch out of the transatlantic slaving trade, becoming by far the biggest slave trader for the rest of the time until abolition, with only the US as a competitor. Generally speaking, the British had in the 18th century become a strong trading nation with a number of rich colonies in the West Indies and its thirteen colonies in northern America. Its East India Company was probably the biggest and richest trading company in the world.
