About 620,000. About 40,000 died from North Carolina

If you mean died, then there were 212,930 deaths, about 2% of the national population. If you mean how many people fought in the civil war, then there were 3,164,000 combatants.

In the American Civil War there were some 600,000 plus fatalities among the Union and Confederate military forces. However this does not reflect that many of these fatalities were not because of combat but rather by disease. Both the Union and the Confederate Armies suffered greatly from yellow fever, malaria, dysentery and a host of other maladies. Actual deaths from wounds sustained in combat would number probably in the 400,000 range and may even be less due to the horrible attrition brought on by disease, and in the Confederate army, malnutrition.

There have been over 630,000 U.S. casualties since the end of the American Civil War, including over 116,000 in WWI, 405,000 in WWII, 36,000 in the Korean War, 58,000 in the Vietnam War, and over 6,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan. As an aside, it can be noted that the total deaths of the US Civil War are almost equal to all the latter wars fought by the US. It can also be noted that, the US has never fought a war with another democracy.

About 360,00 Union soldiers and around 260,000 Confederate solders died in the American Civil War. A hole 5 percent of the states population was lost. Many were wounded. Back then the medican was so premature all they could do to save the wounded was to amputate. All they could amputate were limbs. Stomache wounds were fatal.
