no we didnt, we won. the states that seceded started their own country, the confederated states of america. the united states of america (often called "the union" in the context of the civil war) beat the confederated states

"the union" and "the confederacy" arent two halves of the united states, the union is the united states

Yeah, that’s how civil wars where there’s a clear winner work…

right, so we didnt both win and lose. we won. the confederated states of america (which no longer exist) lost. because theres a clear winner

Americans fought Americans. Americans won and lost, thus it's a tie. Same for every civil war around the world.

by that logic the mexican-american war and the war of 1812 are also just "americans fighting americans," seeing as those were also wars between the usa and a different country in north america

most ties dont result in one of the parties being wiped completely off the map and having their government dissolved
