The battle of Antietam, Maryland was the worst single day battle with about 27,000 casualties in 12 hours.

There were several other battles with as many or more casualties, but they were multi-day events.

What is the biggest battle in the us history?

Battle of Saratoga There are several answers to this question, depending on what the question asks. If it is asking "what is the largest battle on (current day) US soil?", that would be the Battle of Gettysburg, where a total of 160,000 soldiers fought over 3 days, resulting in about 45,000 casualties. However, the Overland Campaign of May-June 1864 involved almost 200,000 soldiers fighting a series of mid-sized battles during this time. If the question is "What battle is most important to the history of the United States?" then the answer would most likely have to be either the Battle of Yorktown (where the US managed to secure its independence from Great Britain as a result of the victory), or the Battle of Gettsburg (where the Union decisively turned the tide of the US Civil War in its favor, insuring the continued existence of the United States as we currently know it). If the question is "What battle did the largest number of US forces participate in?", that would likely be the campaign in France during 1944-1945, involving almost 4 million US soldiers. For a single (named) battle, it would most likely be the Battle of the Bulge, a 5-week affair from Dec 1944 to Jan 1945, involving over 800,000 US troops and about 400,000 German ones.
