Question

Suffered more than 12,000 casualties. The Confederates endured more

Answer 1

Answer:

Did the union have more casualties than the Confederacy?

Image result for Suffered more than 12,000 casualties. The Confederates endured more than 13,000 casualties. Union officer A. H. Nickerson later recalled, “It seemed that everybody near me was killed.” The Battle of Antietam, also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, was the bloodiest single-day battle of the Civil War--and of U.S. history. More soldiers were killed and wounded at the Battle of Antietam than the deaths of all Americans in the American Revolution, War of 1812, and Mexican-American War combined.

For 110 years, the numbers stood as gospel: 618,222 men died in the Civil War, 360,222 from the North and 258,000 from the South — by far the greatest toll of any war in American history.

How many casualties did the Confederacy suffer?

258,000

A specific figure of 618,222 is often cited, with 360,222 Union deaths and 258,000 Confederate deaths. This estimate was not an unreasoned guess, but a number that was established after years of research in the late 19th century by Union veterans William F. Fox, Thomas Leonard Livermore and others.
