At least 618,000 Americans died in the Civil War, and some experts say the toll reached 700,000. The number that is most often quoted is 620,000. At any rate, these casualties exceed the nation's loss in all its other wars, from the Revolution through Vietnam.
The Union armies had from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 men. Their losses, by the best estimates: Battle deaths: 110,070 Disease, etc.: 250,152 Total 360,222
The Confederate strength, known less accurately because of missing records, was from 750,000 to 1,250,000. Its estimated losses: Battle deaths: 94,000 Disease, etc.: 164,000 Total 258,000
The leading authority on casualties of the war, Thomas L. Livermore, admitting the handicap of poor records in some cases, studied 48 of the war's battles and concluded: Of every 1,000 Federals in battle, 112 were wounded. Of every 1,000 Confederates, 150 were hit. Mortality was greater among Confederate wounded, because of inferior medical service. The great battles, in terms of their toll in dead, wounded, and missing is listed on this site:

Slavery was and is an odious and sinister institution and the blood and death was necessary to remove this evil. This evil was like a cancer eating at the soul of the nation and had to be excised from the nation for its survival. The price was high and it was necessary. It should also be noted that it many countries that share Mr. Elision's religion that slavery is still practiced. Reparations have been paid, and it was paid in blood, death, injuries and carnage.
PS I visited a very old cemetery in Massachusetts and was looking at the gravestones. I noticed a peculiar pattern in the deaths. Many women of child bearing age and young men. The pattern of young men's death puzzled me until I looked at the dates. These were men that probably died in the Civil War. The debt due to slavery has been paid in full.
