A battle doesn't make a War a total war: total war is when you devote all your resources to a war. In the Civil War, Americans rationed things but didn't give them up completely: this is a form of Total War that isn't harmful to the advancement of the people after the war. Petersburg was a total battle. Trench warfare, massive artillery, tens of thousands dead. This made the battle a total war battle but didn't make the war a total war.
It is estimated that over 618,000 men died during the US Civil war from all causes including combat, disease and accident. Below is an excellent site for this and more on the US Civil War.
no total war is when peoples will is destroyed.
Considering the US and its wars only, the Civil War is by far America's deadliest conflict. There were approximately 620,000 dead in the Civil War, and around 405,000 in WWII. Even if you consider only dead Yankees in the Civil War, of which there were 360,000 (and 260,000 Rebels), as being strictly speaking US Army dead, still thats about 90% as many as WWII, but the WWII total US population was nearly 8 times larger than the population of the north in the CIvil War. WWII saw the second highest death toll of Americans, but the Civil War for the north was about seven times deadlier than WWII, and for the south the Civil War was about 40 times more deadly.
