In terms of casualties versus population the Civil War was worst war ever fought in American history, it involved casualties of nearly a million soldiers and civilians, roughly three percent of the country's total population of roughly 28 million people; with the exception of World War II, the Civil War has claimed more battle deaths than all other American wars combined.
