Although there are many (U.S.A. and other) people who would strenuously object to describing the (U.S.) Civil War as the seminal event in U.S.A. history.

The technical term for such a person is " ignoramus". That's not a put down-that's truth in labeling.
N.B. Its A seminal ("seminal" meaning "highly influential" ) event. It is arguably THE most important event.
Nobody who knows anything about US history thinks its an unimportant event
