1861 - 1865
Our country, deeply divided over state's rights and slavery, fought its most costly and tragic war. In this war between the states, the North lost 110,000 men in combat and 250,000 more from disease and starvation. The South suffered comparatively more with the loss of 94,000 in combat and 164,000 from disease and starvation. The Union Army involved 2,500,000 men and the Confederate Army numbered less than half that many. Combined deaths for both armies from all causes totaled 620,000.
