If you mean in American History: Because it was fought in America, whenever there was a victory, blood had been shed on both sides. Let's say that 23,000 people died ina battle total. If this war had been between two continents, each would have had about 12,500 people die. But since it was fought between itself, it was the total in all. In the Civil War, all battles were pretty much a lose-lose situation. Somebody won, and somebody lost, but the soldiers were all bodies of Americans, brothers against fathers.
