How many people died in the 1st Battle of Bull Run?

Answer 1

Union casualties were approximately 10,000 Union soldiers were killed or wounded out of 62,000, and 1300 killed - 7,000 wounded out of 50,000 Confederate soldiers.

Answer 2

The Bull Run battle was the bloodiest and even the largest in the history of America. Here is the list for the Union casualties: killed (460), wounded (1,124), missing/captured (1,312 ). The Confederate casualties were: killed (387), wounded (1,582), and missing (13).

Answer 3

The Union casualties were: 481 dead, 1011 wounded and about 1000 prisoners.

The Confederates casualties were 387 dead and 1582 wounded.

Furthermore the Confederates captured 500 rifles, 500,000 cartridges, 28 guns and 9 flags.

Answer 4

That figure does not really square with the published histories of the battle, or by reports from the Adjutant Generals of those states involved. The actual figures put Union losses at approximately 460 killed, 1,124 wounded and 1,312 missing or captured. Due to the route of the Federal forces and the disorganization of the retreat, it is hard to ascertain how many Union soldiers were captured, how many straggled back to their units, and how many simply went home. Their enlistments expired in about 10 days.

Confederate losses amounted to 387 killed, 1,582 wounded and 13 missing or captured. The number of captured forces was low, because after the battle was over the Confederate Army commanded the field, and some troops who were initially captured were summarily rescued during the rout. While the losses were significant, they would pale when compared to the casualty figures of later battles. To be certain, there would be further deaths among the battles wounded. Medical care was pretty poor at this stage of the war. It can be assumed that approximately 395 soldiers succumbed to their wounds. Confederate after battle casualties could have been even higher, due to the higher number of wounded. It can be assumed that approximately 555 succumbed to their wounds. But even considering these figures it falls well below the 5,000 deaths suggested here. At a maximum, with the combination of both armies, the battles dead would number no more than 1,800, with 847 being killed outright, and the remainder perishing from their wounds.

Answer 5

Approximately 3,000 Union Soldiers and 2,000 Confederate Soldiers.

Answer 6

Victory for the Confederate forces. However, approximately 5,000 men died. Of those, 3,000 were Union soldiers.
