More soldiers died in the American Civil War than in the Mexican-American War due to several reasons. The Civil War lasted longer and involved more intense and large-scale battles. Additionally, advancements in weapon technology, such as rifled muskets and artillery, caused higher casualties in the Civil War. Lastly, the larger population base and greater mobilization of troops in the Civil War contributed to a higher number of deaths.
The First Battle of Bull Run proved that neither army was capable of delivering a decisive victory.
The losses on both sides were so high that the battle was recorded as the bloodiest day of the Civil War.
Both sides needed more soldiers because the civil war claimed many lives.

More Deaths of American soldiers, but then both sides were Americans.
Disease - far more than bullets. Also, there was very little medical provision. If you were wounded, you would probably die.

They were known as the Union. They wanted to abolish slavery. The North had a big army which included many black soldiers. They had lots of good equipment to fight with. Instead of cash crops, they had more factories. They wanted to weaken the south before attacking. They had advanced railroads. The North has a stronger navy. They hoped for a peaceful end to slavery. The government was sided with the North. All of the money in the South came from cash crops. Slaves were an important part of their economy. They were known as the Confederacy. Cotton was grown everywhere in the South. Agriculture was the center of their economy because it made need for more slaves. Most of the Civil War was fought in the South. They wanted to expand slavery. They did not have as many factories as the North. They had a lot less soldiers. They wanted war. Both sides speak English. Both sides had to turn on loved ones. Both sides distrusted Indians. Both sides had poor medical care. Both sides wanted more land. Both sides grew in their weapons. Both sides only allow men to join the army.

Union had more soldiers in the war.
The fact that I remember best about the casualties (Not dead) at Shiloh is that the ~23,000 on both sides were more than those in all the wars the US had fought to that date. It was a real shock to those people on both sides who thought it would be a short war...
More than 50% of the soldiers who died in the Civil War died of disease or complications from their wounds.
