Are you a pow since birth due to fact no formal treaty exists that ends civil war?
No. A treaty can only exist between sovereign powers. A treaty does not exist in a conquest. Those who fought against the United States surrendered. They lived for a few years without full civil rights. Then they received Presidential Pardons. (The Federalist Papers had foreseen the need for such pardons. There would come a time when restoring peace would become more important than punishing the guilty.) Everyone born since then has been a full citizen of the United States since birth.
