The US Civil War - Costliest Battles


These are the ten costliest battles (in terms of dearths) in the US Civil War.

Gettysburg, Shiloh, Stone's River, Antietam and Vicksburg were Union victories. Although Antietam was a tactical opportunity missed.

Spotsylvania and Wilderness were largely inconclusive.

The Confederacy won Chickamauga, Chancellorsville and Second Manassas.

The Resistance of the South against largely numerically superior Unionist forces should not be understated..
