Most were just minor skirmishes, but there were around 10,000 conflicts between armies. Of these, 384 are recognized as significant. The total number of large-scale battles may be 400 or more, depending on whether "campaigns" or individual daily battles are used. There were more than a dozen mass conflicts, for example, in the Siege of Richmond.

There were 32 battles with more than 5000 casualties (killed or wounded). The largest number for one battle was Gettysburg with 46,000.

There is a list at the related link below.

The US Civil War had its beginnigs at Fort Sumter and ended at the Appomattox Court House where Confederate(South) General Lee surrendered to Union(North) General Grant.

The Civil War consisted of more than 50 major battles and 5000 minor battles. Over 360000 Union soldiers and 260000 Confederate soldiers died and many more were wounded.

I take it you mean "Battles" - since there was only one major war in the Civil War - and there were hundreds of battles, depending on how you define a battle. At least 50 major encounters between forces of the Confederacy and forces of the Union. It was a bloody, foolish, stupid war (as are all, I suppose). Brother shot Brother. Families were torn apart by differing sympathies. In three bloody days of fighting in Gettysburg, more men were killed than in 14 years of the Vietnam conflict.
