Civil wars in general tend to be bloody and deadly, in comparison to foreign wars. If you are fighting against another country, about something such as a border dispute, the survival of your country is usually not at stake. With civil wars, there is a greater chance of the destruction of the country. If you are not on good terms with Germany, you don't have to go there. If you have a similar problem with your neighbor, that is harder to avoid. Civil wars take on a great urgency, and people are less likely to compromise or give up, being more likely to fight to the death.

The US Civil War was a bloody war. One of the reasons was caused by battle tactics. So very often, both sides used frontal assaults against heavily fortified defenses built by the opposing army. Charging infantrymen were easy targets.
In the Civil War, they had just discovered bullets made by soft lead. When the lead made contact it would swell in size, leaving a larger hole on the way out than it made on the way in. Otherwise they used just plane rifle bullets-often with bayonets. The Civil War was not civil at all-in fact it was the most bloody war in American History. People were brutal and they wanted to make sure that the South/ North (depending on their respective sides) did not win. They were out for blood and they sure got it.
