This is the equivalent of five million deaths by standardizing this figure to match the population in the United States today.  This would be 100 times the number of Americans losing their lives in the Vietnam War—and 17 times the number of our men and women killed in World War II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmost one-fifth of the Americans who served, died during this war.\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 600,000 American soldiers were killed (in close to four years).  \u003cbr\u003eThis figure includes more than 258,000 Confederate troops and more than 360,000 Union troops. \u003cbr\u003eThe death rate in the Civil war was higher than in any other war in American history.\u003cbr\u003eIn fact, the death rate claimed more American lives than all of our other wars combined!\u003cbr\u003eFighting during the Revolutionary War resulted in about 4,500 American battle deaths (in about five and one-half years).\u003cbr\u003eMore than 116,500 Americans died in World War I!\u003cbr\u003eMore than 450,000 Americans were killed in World War II (in three and one-half years).\u003cbr\u003eClose to 53,650 Americans died during the time the Korean War was fought (a  little more than three years).\u003cbr\u003eAt least 58,150 Americans met their maker during the Vietnam conflict (approximately eight and one-half years).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, all of this and more took place in a war that really didn’t have to happen in the first place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConsider these astounding figures:  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- One of every four Confederate boys and men aging from 14 to 40, were killed in this reprehensible war.  \u003cbr\u003e- Unknown numbers in the hundreds of thousands on both sides in were wounded, lost limbs, or were otherwise maimed.\u003cbr\u003e- Bayard, the son of New York Times correspondent Samuel Williamson’s son, Bayard, was killed in the War on July 2, 1863.  As a result of this tragedy, the boy’s father wrote this touching memorial to the memory of his only son.  It pretty well sums up the horror and the hope or the entire Civil War: “My pen is heavy, O, you dead, who at Gettysburg have baptized with your blood the second birth of Freedom in America, how you are to be envied!  I rise from a grave whose wet clay I have passionately kissed, and I look up and see Christ spanning the battle-field with his feet, and reaching fraternal and loving up to Heaven, His right hand opens the gates of Paradise, --with his left he sweetly beckons to these mutilated, bloody, swollen forms to ascend.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCooking and Baking During the War of Northern Aggression is full of delicious foods as prepared and favored by many famous people of days long past.
