The American Civil War occurred from 1860-1865 and was fought between the North and the South.

At one time or another, the Northern armies numbered 2,100,000 soldiers. The Southern armies were considerably smaller. The total dead on both sides was about 500,000.

The chance of surviving a wound in Civil War days was 7 to 1; in the Korean War, 50 to 1.
