They are right about 258,000 Southerners (that is not counting blacks, women and children). The yankees suffered not enough at 300,000. The final tally for teh yankee part since they did not pay compensation as they did Gernmany, kapan and even Iraqi was $ 6190000000 which according to my inflation claualtor (sorry it only goes to 2005) was $73091411007 in 2005 dollars.
God Bless You and Our Southern People.
I have to add this make sure you tell your teacher when she says yankees should be proud or that we Southerners should forget.
I know you will not believe this but there has all ready been a holocaust in this country (I mean other then what we did to the native Americans) take a look at Johnson s Island (northern Ohio); Camp Douglas (Chicago); and Elmira (New York).
The official U.S. position on the treatment of Confederate prisoners of war during The War for Southern Independence would shock many modern Americans. The data, facts and statistics have been thoroughly eliminated from American history books. One must research the original documents to discover the horrible truth.
During the Civil War (1861-1865), the U.S. House of Representatives passed the following resolution: "Rebel prisoners in our hands are to be subjected to a treatment finding its parallels only in the conduct of savage tribes and resulting in the death of multitudes by the slow but designed process of starvation and by mortal diseases occasioned by insufficient and unhealthy food and wanton exposure of their persons."
One Yankee prison commander boasted that he had killed more Confederate soldiers than any Union officer on the front battle lines.
The story of Confederate prison camps, especially Andersonville, has been misrepresented. There was no deliberate attempt to mistreat northern POWs. The South asked the North to send doctors and medicine, and they tried to exchange the prisoners.
The North refused and finally the Confederacy offered the North cotton and gold as payment to take them without exchange. Again, the North refused to do so. They knew the Confederate States of America would be honor bound to try to feed and house the Union POWs and to do so would hamper the Confederate war effort.
God Bless You and Our Southern People.

A total of 618,000 (some estimate it may have been as many as 700,000.) Americans died in the civil war. There were 360,000 casualties on the Union side and 258,000 on the Confederate side. The war cost $6 billion in 1863 dollars.

a technique or the different the "manly, gallant South" might desire to not furnish its "gallant" adult men with sufficient nutrients, footwear, or uniforms and have been defeated militarily by the North. The North already grew to grow to be a superpower by 1865. those info in themselves communicate volumes. extra wishful thinking on the portion of yet another believer of the lost reason...
