Perhaps you bought a defective battery, perhaps it just needs to be charged, perhaps you bought one with too low of a CCA rating, perhaps you need to replace the terminals, perhaps you just didn't tighten down the terminals enough.

Only if your alternator is not working properly. If you are always charging your battery, check your alternator belt. That was the solution for my escort, a new $10.00 belt.

Will a loose battery wire cause a battery to go dead?

No. A loose battery connector will cause problems drawing power from the battery to start the vehicle, and it may present a bit of a problem charging it (but that is not likely because the charging current is low compared to the starting current). If you have a loose connector and the battery goes dead, clean and tighten your battery terminals and start making some checks. The loose connector will not cause your battery to go dead.
