Nice presentation, but, Malvern Hill was fought mostly by Union artillery against Confederate infantry. Most CSA casualties were a direct result of artillery fire. You really don't see any of that in the video.
Everything I have ever researched on this battle was Union artillery lined up hub to hub and absolutely devastated the Confederate charges. Next to Picketts charge and the ill advised attack at Franklin against well entrenched Union troops this ranks up there as a southern bloodbath.
Hard to measure human suffering, but WWI battles were probably even worse, since the carnage raged for weeks. Whitstanding day after day of heavy artillery was escruciating experience. And after that, the order to get over board, through artillery barrage and machine gun fire. The life expectancy of a junior officer was just few months. As for suffering of civils, WWII was likely the worst. It is true that battles were just a part of the crucible of ACW soldiers. Most of deaths were from deseases.
