I mean, it’s currently at number 50 on Wikipedia’s list of wars by death toll (out of 130 listed conflicts). I feel like that might qualify as one of the most destructive, but it’s obviously a subjective description.
Also, at the time, it would have been quite a bit higher on the list.

“One of” is doing some heavy lifting there.
Among the local wars between northern american people at the time, it was one of the most destructive!
It definitely was one of the wars!

It really doesn’t. Destructive is a much broader term than casualties, especially military.
