Most of these nations gained independence through revolution as well, while a smaller amount gained it by the European state giving the colony independence (canada, Jamaica), Cuba was also technically both (revolution against spanish to be ruled by America, given Independence by America). A big difference is that most of North america was ruled by the British and the French, while South and Central America were settled predominantly by the Spanish and Portuguese. This resulted in huge differences in culture, including language (English/french vs Spanish/Portuguese) and religion (Protestantism vs Catholicism).

It was the first civil war. Additionally, after the Civil War, 3 amendments were added to the Constitution that made it legal for the freedmen to vote. This allowed for new issues and a new movement to allow women to vote. After the civil war, segregation was implemented and that created the Civil Rights Movement to get rid of segregation. Hope this helps.
