The 18 Deadliest Battles in American Military History

[garbare83686]

Limited to WWI and WWII and I think that some of the Civil War battles were worse. Cold Harbor, Antietam, Shiloh and Gettysburg, but I don't have any numbers.

I believe that I read that Antietam was the bloodiest day in your history.

At the end of the article they note that these battles covered several days or even week while the civil war battles usually lasted only a day or two. I believe that in the dead per day category you are absolutely correct.
