For single-day totals, the biggest was the first day of Operation Overlord (D-Day), June 6, 1944. Modern estimates are 2500+ American Kia, with 3x Wounded. This is significantly higher than previous records estimated.
While many of the Pacific campaign battles were vicious, they ultimately produced few casualties, as the number of US troops involved was severely limited. The Battle of Tawara (Nov 20-23, 1943) probably has the largest number (1300 KIA, 2300 WIA) over the shortest period. The Battle of Okinawa (April 1 - June 22, 1945) produced a very high casualty rate for a single "battle" (~50,000 total), but this is similar to the Normandy Campaign (June 6 - August 31, 1944), which produced 100,000+ American casualties.
The American Civil War resulted in an estimated 620,000 to 750,000 military deaths, making it the deadliest conflict in U.S. history. In comparison, World War II, which had the highest American casualties among international conflicts, resulted in about 405,000 deaths. Other wars, such as World War I and the Vietnam War, had significantly lower casualties, with approximately 116,516 and 58,220 American deaths, respectively. Overall, the Civil War's casualties far exceed those of other American wars, highlighting its profound impact on the nation.
Russia
Russia, by far. The American strategy (as was the strategy for most of the allies) was carefully planned and precise. The Russians had a huge population and just charged full speed ahead into Germany, overpowering the Nazis with sheer numbers and taking heavy casualties along the way.
World War II. Some 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, along with many Romanies, homosexuals, political prisoners and mentally & physically disabled people. About 20 million Russians died, as well as huge numbers of soldiers and civilians in he European and Asian theatres of war.
The Battle of Stalingrad, fought between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany during World War II, is often cited as one of the deadliest single battles in history, with significant casualties occurring over several months. However, the single deadliest day in terms of casualties is generally considered to be the first day of the Battle of Antietam, fought on September 17, 1862, during the American Civil War, where approximately 22,717 soldiers were killed, wounded, or missing. This battle marked a pivotal moment in the war and remains the bloodiest single day in American military history.

Compared to what? Total American casualties in WW1 were significantly lower than either WW2 or the US Civil War, and the casualty rate (number of casualties suffered per 100,000 deployed) was lower than most wars Americans fought in during the 1800s. American casualty rates were comparable to (though slightly higher than) British or French rates during the same time period.
