The US still hasn't recovered from it and in many ways the war continues but through asymmetric/unconventional/covert institutional violence. It's nearly back to the surface, though.

You could argue the cultural impact, I guess, and the confederacy's impact on following American policy. Still, this is a bit of a stretch given that there was no shortage of racists in power in the north either.

Certainly not by european standards.
Just looked it up and each iteration of the western front was more devastating regarding loss of life.

The German states to this day have differing public holidays depending on their allegiance in the 30 years war.

And one German city has an extra public holiday due to the (end of the) 30 years war.
