Some argue that the American Civil War wasn't technically a civil war because, by strict definition, a civil war involves two or more factions competing to gain control over a country while the ACW was a region trying to secede from the rest of the country. I don't agree with that but I'm not here to debate it. I want you to try to create a scenario in which will be more similar to the former definition.

Example: John C. Breckinridge is somehow elected POTUS and forces territories to accept slavery causing a movement to try and overthrow him through armed force. Not vary plausible but you get the point.
