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.
