Wikipedia -- List of Roman civil wars and revolts
In terms of per capita loss of life, I think that we have done better. But, again, time will tell.
the 3rd century BC roman civil wars listed there these grossly stretch the definition of Civil War. applying the same definition to American history would see suppression of native americans as one long civil war, and suppressing philippine rebels at the turn of 20th century as another civil war, fighting the vietcong and insurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan arguable would also qualify as yet more civil wars.
again, Americans are commonly indoctrinated to turn vastly more critical eyes on everyone else than they would allow to be seen with themselves in ordee to sustain a delusion of American exceptionalism.
You think other nations don't teach their citizens to be critical of other nations, including the US?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
