That which was the bloodiest warfare in American history? A lot of people with at least just a little knowledge of history would quickly say that it was the Civil Battle (1861-65), and they would definitely be right overall. In recently-updated statistics, it is thought that over 750,000 People in america passed on in the Civil Battle from struggle wounds, diseases, and other causes. Within a day at the struggle of Antietam on Sept 17, 1862, almost 27,000 military were killed, wounded and absent. However, when historians go farther back in time and include colonial wars and appearance at casualties per capita, the right answer would be the much-lesser known turmoil known as "King Philip's Battle" (1675-76). While a significant 2.5% of the US inhabitants perished in the Civil Battle, 5% of New England's white settler inhabitants died during Ruler Philip's War, where 13 towns were destroyed and 600 dwellings were burned up by the natives.
