But the thing is, technical, the war of independence was a civil war; so again we were fighting ourselves.

Technically no it is not a civil war :

James Fearon, a scholar of civil wars at Stanford University, defines a civil war as "a violent conflict within a country fought by organized groups that aim to take power at the center or in a region, or to change government policies".

It was not within a country :P
