What you're describing doesn't sound like a civil war to me.
It sounds like West Side Story:

What you're describing doesn't sound like a civil war to me.
It sounds like West Side Story:
Quote:> "When you're a Jet,
> You're the swingin'est thing.
> Little boy, you're a man;
> Little man, you're a king!
> The Jets are in gear,
> Our cylinders are clickin'!
> The Sharks'll steer clear,
> 'Cause ev'ry Puerto Rican
> 'S a lousy chicken!
> Here come the Jets
> Like a bat out of hell—
> Someone gets in our way
> Someone don't feel so well!
> Here come the Jets!
> Little world, step aside,
> Better go underground,
> Better run, better hide!
> We're drawin' the line,
> So keep your noses hidden!
> We're hangin' a sign
> Says "Visitors forbidden,"
> And we ain't kiddin!
> Here come the Jets—
> Yeah! And we're gonna beat
> Every last buggin' gang
> On the whole buggin' street!"
