Almost all the men who died in either army were white. Numbers in the Civil War defy exactness, but the best figures show that a total of 620,000 men died; 360,000 Yankees and 260,000 Rebels. Somewhere over 100,000 black men served in the northern armies, and according to the official figures of the US Army, 1800 of them died. That's about one-half of one per cent of the total Union dead.
Figures for non-military deaths are much more elusive.
