In my opinion it would largely be a form of guerrilla warfare. ...

There would be plenty of attacks on the infrastructure of our nation including the power grid, the rail system and the interstate highway network. A good number of people in our nation have served in the military and a significant number of those have combat experience in war zones and therefore have a good understanding of guerrilla tactics as they experienced it.

Also keep in mind that Americans own 50% of all the guns in the world.

Of course some states would secede from the Union and likely split the nation down the middle rather than north and south.

It would be one hell of a mess. Fortunately I don't feel that at this time we are anywhere close to an uprising. We are living in a very contentious time frame but our nation has lived through such times and held together since the Civil War. I suspect we will once again resolve our political disagreements at the ballot box.
