Answer In terms of American lives, the Civil War was more costly. Americans were not involved in WW1 but for only 1 year.
68,178 Union colored soldiers were killed or wounded during the Civil War, 2,751 of which were shot, stabbed, or exploded to death. The rest either died of disiese, starvaton, drowning, were captured, ore lost to other causes.
Many slaves were able to escape, and the Southern planters had to face the fact that those slaves had been willing to risk their lives in order to get out.
The American Civil War was the deadliest war in American History. About 620,000 individuals lost their lives during the Civil War. Confederate deaths were 260,000 of which 93,000 were killed in combat, while Union deaths were 360,000 of which 110,000 deaths were in combat. Disease was the major cause of death in the civil war. Out of 620,000 deaths, 417,000 were from diseases while 203,000 were killed in combat. In total deaths the American Civil War was the deadliest war in American History with over 620,000 fatalities. Although in combat related deaths World War II remains the deadliest conflict with 292,000 combat deaths (416,000 total). (see the related link)
I believe that would be the Civil War, where casualties were not only very heavy, but solely American. The death toll for the American Civil War is somewhere around 600 to 700 thousand men killed. The numbers are NOT exact as the reporting system was quite poor and many who died were not accounted for by the side that they had been fighting for. THe ACW is by quite a large margin, the most deadly war that Americans were ever involved in. As an aside, did you know that about 40,000 men from British North America ( Canada ) volunteered to fight for the Union Army? Why? Money. They could get about $400 to take the place of a rich man's son as a soldier, and if they survived the war, that money would buy them a farm in Canada. That is where the expression " He bought the farm " comes from. it meant that the man had died in a battle, and would not get to see his farm. Jim Bunting. Toronto. Ontario. Canada. Civil War

Civil rights changed the lives of many Americans by giving more of them the right to vote. It also made it so that every American, regardless of race, was considered equal under the law.

After the civil war, Inflation was "Introduced". The printing of money, with promises of value drove prices up. People were working for the same amount of pay, but were spending more to get less. Also, large incoporations were accepted so the government could collect more money from taxes. - Andrew
