Non-Battle losses were higher on both sides. Over 60% of Confederate deaths were due to non-battle causes such as disease; Union non-battle losses were nearly 70%. It has been difficult to get accurate statistics for Civil War losses, because so many of the officers and clerks responsible for keeping track of those numbers were themselves casualties. Many estimates of Civil War mortality statistics do not vary significantly from each other. Here is a typical one: The Confederacy had at most 1.25 million combatants. Estimated deaths were 258,000 total with 94,000 battle losses and 164,000 non-battle losses. The Union had at most 2.75 million combatants. Estimated deaths were 360,000 total with 110,000 battle losses and 250,000 non-battle losses.

How did the battle of Gettysburg affect the course of the civil war?
a lot of soldiers died and they did not have a lot of soldiers for the civil war.... To be honest the battle of Gettysburg was not really that important... as many would have us believe.. If I had to say anything the biggest lose was due to the lose of Stonewall Jackson. Which was a great moral lose for the Confederate Army... StoneWall Jackson was a much better leader then Robert E.. Lee ever was...(opinion) but Robert E. Lee should of left Gettysburg... when Jackson advised him... it was clearly a lose cause and a lose of Men that the Confederate army could ill afford.... Plus... It seemed up to that point that the South may actually win.. Since, they had a few big wins... and many people in the North were tired of sending their boys to fight, die and lose.... Clearly, Lincoln needed a win so that he could give his Emancipation Proclamation speech... to do so before Gettysburg would of made it seem like , as one person stated, as a death howl before they lose..
