Despite the loss of troops at the Battle of Gettysburg, the number of troops in the Confederate army in the period between June and December 1863, Southern army manpower stood at 464,646. This was a loss of 9,000 troops from June 1863,a drop of about two percent. This was due to increased conscription and volunteering. Even though 30,000 men surrendered to US Grant in July of 1863, it was not an unconditional surrender. The "deal" worked out was that the 30,000 would be paroled. Grant had nowhere to send the Confederate troops. Most of them scattered but rejoined the Confederate army.
