The Civil War (1861-1865) was distinct from other American wars due to its internal nature, pitting the Union against the Confederacy over fundamental issues like slavery and states' rights. Unlike previous conflicts, which generally involved foreign adversaries, the Civil War resulted in immense devastation and loss of life within the nation, with approximately 620,000 soldiers dying. Additionally, it led to significant social and political changes, including the abolition of slavery, whereas other wars primarily focused on territorial expansion or defense against external threats. The war also set the stage for ongoing struggles over civil rights and national unity in the years that followed.
The American Civil War (1861-1865) resulted in approximately 620,000 to 750,000 military deaths, making it one of the deadliest conflicts in U.S. history. This death toll far exceeds that of other American wars, such as World War II, which saw around 405,000 U.S. military deaths, and the Vietnam War, which claimed roughly 58,000 lives. The Civil War's casualties were particularly devastating given the population size at the time, representing about 2% of the U.S. population in 1860. This high percentage underscores the war's profound impact on American society and its historical significance.
The American Civil War resulted in approximately 620,000 to 750,000 military deaths, making it the deadliest conflict in American history. This number exceeds the total American fatalities of World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, and the Korean War combined. The staggering loss highlights the war's profound impact on the nation, both in terms of human cost and societal change. In comparison, World War II, the next deadliest conflict, resulted in about 405,000 U.S. military deaths.
That is more of an opinion. In some people's opinions, it is a good war. In some other's, bad. Also, you need to be much more specific as to what constitutes "good" and "bad" - like most wars, there are many different aspects to the American Civil War. Which aspects of the War are you interested in?
You mean the most destructive on American soil. Because all the wars since then have been on foreign soil.

No comparison. The American Civil War was long and bloody. Any of the Gulf Wars, with the exception of the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s, were short and nearly bloodless for the coalition forces.
Civil wars cannot compare to WW1.
Obviously both sides were Americans, unlike other wars But also, unlike other wars, every American was committed, believed it was a necessary war, and volunteered to fight on one side or the other.
