Best Answer

The anticipated casualties far exceeded projections primarily because of yellow fever. It had not been the anticipated quick and clean little war, and even worse, the people that had projected an increased national turmoil over slavery were right and the US Civil War became an unintended consequence of the search for Manifest Destiny.

American Revolutionary War- (1775-1783). Britain vs. America. Result- (American Victory). Mexican- American War- (1846-1848). Mexico vs. America. Result- (American Victory). American Civil War- (1861-1865). United States of America vs. Confederate States of America. Result- (United States of America Victory). Additionally, if you mean "Spanish War" by the war between Spain and America over the annexation of Cuba, that lasted less than a year in 1898. Hope this Helps.
