The difference between these is that most of the World War 1/2 battles took place over the course of weeks or even months.
Those Civil War battles were mostly 1-2 days, granted that both sides fatalities are both counted in those.

Well...as warfare became more mechanized and industrialized the battles themselves ended up lasting longer and longer. I still think it appropriate to call actions such as Meuse-Argonne and Ardennes 1944-45 "battles" more than "campaigns."

it would be interesting to see the worst losses in a 1 day battle. I seem to remember reading about some horrible losses to the US Marines at the Chosin Reservoir battles.
