Question is very deceptive. The single day battle record is Antietam at 3654 deaths. Meuse-Argonne was a 46 day long battle! 46 days of Antietam equals 149,814 deaths. Just a vent on my part.

Comparing the deadliness of battles in this question is like comparing kittens to lions with the justification that “they are both CATS!”

Dan Ridgway, For those of us who were there will strongly disagree. While officially considered a "conflict" it WAS a battle. Daily.
