After the civil war, Inflation was "Introduced". The printing of money, with promises of value drove prices up. People were working for the same amount of pay, but were spending more to get less. Also, large incoporations were accepted so the government could collect more money from taxes. - Andrew

How many people were killed and wounded in civil war?

The American Civil War was the deadliest war in American History. About 620,000 individuals lost their lives during the Civil War. Confederate deaths were 260,000 of which 93,000 were killed in combat, while Union deaths were 360,000 of which 110,000 deaths were in combat. Disease was the major cause of death in the civil war.

Although in combat related deaths World War II remains the deadliest conflict with 292,000 combat deaths (416,000 total). (see the related link)


In which war were most American lives lost?

I believe that would be the Civil War, where casualties were not only very heavy, but solely American. The death toll for the American Civil War is somewhere around 600 to 700 thousand men killed. The numbers are NOT exact as the reporting system was quite poor and many who died were not accounted for by the side that they had been fighting for. THe ACW is by quite a large margin, the most deadly war that Americans were ever involved in. As an aside, did you know that about 40,000 men from British North America ( Canada ) volunteered to fight for the Union Army? Why? Money. They could get about $400 to take the place of a rich man's son as a soldier, and if they survived the war, that money would buy them a farm in Canada. That is where the expression " He bought the farm " comes from. it meant that the man had died in a battle, and would not get to see his farm. Jim Bunting. Toronto. Ontario. Canada. Civil War
