Never heard of the War of Succession.
No such thing in US History.
Did you mean the War of Secession?
Succeed: to come after, as one King succeeds another to the throne
Secede: withdraw formally from membership in a federal union, an alliance, or a political or religious organization.

When you count both sides of the US Civil War, then yes, there were more KIA between 1861-1865 than in the 20th Century as a whole.

Not anymore. Not since some point during Vietnam.
Total KIA in the Civil War: 562,130
Total KIA in every conflict since: 687,989
The two biggest conflicts besides the Civil War are:
World War One: 116,708
World War Two: 408,306
