Most deaths were from disease and infection. Many of these young men did not get off the farm until this war. When getting large numbers of people together in one area is a concoction that would lead to dysentery and other disease (common colds) which could kill their unexposed immune systems. Just some info, for facts...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 ''''''''''''''''''
Disease in a way. It was really infections due to injuries that caused the most deaths. Due to the filthy field hospitals.
The biggest cause of death during the civil war was disease. This question surprised me, as it might others, but yes, it was disease.
The total estimated military deaths caused by the US Civil War is approximately six hundred and twenty thousand. This is the combined loss of life of the Union and the Confederacy.
More deaths caused by disease was the number one cause of deaths among the battling armies. It is estimated, for example, that 50% of Confederate deaths were due to disease.
