Approximately 620,000 to 750,000 soldiers died during the Civil War, making it the deadliest conflict in U.S. history. This staggering figure highlights the war's profound impact on the nation compared to other conflicts.

If the question is asking about the Civil War battle with the highest death toll, I believe it was the Battle of Antietam.
The loss of approximately 620,000 soldiers borders on being the most costly loss of lives then most of America's losses in all wars fought by the US combined. The figures on this can vary, however, there is no doubt that the Civil War losses were huge compared to any other single war the US was involved in. Also, there is no dispute that the loss of lives in the Battle of Antietam, of approximately 25-27,000 casualties is the largest number in one day then in any other battle. The numbers are even more shocking when the populations, North and South in 1861- 1865, combined totaled some 32,000,000 people. In World War Two, with Americans fighting on two fronts, faced with death machines such as air plane bombers, tanks, machine guns, submarines and battleships, the American losses were about 405,000 between 1941 to 1945.
Approximately 620,000 to 750,000 soldiers died during the American Civil War, making it one of the deadliest conflicts in U.S. history. This figure includes both Union and Confederate soldiers. The vast majority of these deaths were due to disease rather than battle injuries, highlighting the harsh conditions faced by troops. The staggering loss of life had a profound impact on American society and its post-war landscape.
All of the above.

The South, without question
The loss of life among Native Americans was generally greater due to the arrival of European settlers. Diseases brought by settlers, along with violent conflicts, led to significant population declines among Indigenous peoples. In contrast, while settlers also faced hardships and casualties, their numbers were relatively smaller compared to the devastating impact on Native American communities. Overall, the consequences of colonization disproportionately affected Indigenous populations.

The largest loss of life in US history was the Civil War. At least 618,000 Americans died in the Civil War, and some experts say the toll reached 700,000. The number that is most often quoted is 620,000. At any rate, these casualties exceed the nation's loss in all its other wars, from the Revolution through Vietnam.
