Well, that makes sense in my opinion.
First from a marketing point, they can sell a expansion
Secondly - let's imagine the Americans are wiped out already by the British or a vassal.
Would anybody like a event Civial War then? Would make no sense!

Additionally the U.S. doesn't belong in the vanilla game, because they were just a colony by the start of the game - so leave the U.S. for a expansion like kingdoms.
A Napoleon/Civil War(but you would need railroads for this) expansion.
