The US Civil War with about 213 thousand military dead ranks only slightly behind WWII at 291 thousand in deaths. The Confederates and the Yankees were both Americans and medical care available had advanced greatly between these conflicts. WWI, Korea and Vietnam combined don't reach that level of carnage.
Tactics had not caught up with technology..The line up and shoot tactics of earlier wars were fought with smoothbore muskets, not extremely accurate weapons..At the time of the Civil War, muskets had rifled barrels which were far more accurate, resulting in higher casualties, because the old tactics were still in vogue.
It is estimated that the number of Americans who were killed during the Civil War were 620,000. Many more have died in other wars and conflicts.
No, it has not been in any wars yet. ;)
If you mean what war had the most US casualties is was the Civil War, over 700,000. More than other wars that have happened since combined.

Both sides, North and South, were considered Americans. So the total number of deaths were all Americans.
No, 620,000 people died in the American Civil War which is more than all of the other American Wars combined.
The number of interstate wars (wars betweens countries) has been decreasing over time. However, the number of intrastate wars (civil wars) have been increasing over time.
A string of defeats for the Confederacy, union troops sweeping through Confederate territory were sure signs the war could not last. The U.S. Civil War remains the bloodiest war ever fought on U.S. soil, however, and U.S. casualties exceed those suffered during World Wars I and II, and Viet Nam combined.
620,000 people died in the American Civil War, which is more than all of the other American wars combined.
The Civil Wars was created in 2009.
620,000 soldiers died , more Americans than in all other US wars combined
The huge loss of life, the estimated 620,000 men was the worst disaster in the history of the United States. The number of dead represented more than all of the wars the US fought from its beginning to the end of the 19th Century. One battle had more deaths than any battle in the entire existence of the US, including this year. The total deaths & casualties rivals (sadly) all the ones of all the US wars combined. Figures on this vary.
In the US Civil War, 620,000 men lost their lives, which is more than ALL of the US's other wars COMBINED! Of these, 60 percent died from disease.
