Best Answer

One would assume that the highest number of causalities during a war is from gunfire. However, this was not true during the Civil War; three out of five Union troops died of disease, whereas, two out of three Confederate troops similarly died. Even if a solider survived the Civil War he incurred lifelong health challenges. A fifty year old Civil War veteran of 1890 resembled someone seventy five years old.
