The question is not correct. Approximately 29,000 soldiers died on both sides of the Mexican-American War. Approximately 640,000 soldiers died on both sides of the Civil War.

The Mexican War was fast moving and the Mexican forces often collapsed and surrendered or deserted rather than engage in a fight to complete destruction.
The Mexican-American War exacerbated political problems in the US by reigniting debates over the expansion of slavery. The acquisition of Mexican territories, such as California and New Mexico, raised questions about whether slavery should be allowed in these new territories. This disagreement between Northern and Southern states further polarized the nation and ultimately contributed to the growing tensions that led to the American Civil War.
