Hundreds of thousands on both sides. (If you were wounded, you were likely to die, as there were so few medical facilities.)

The most famous casualties among the Generals were:

Stonewall Jackson (Confederate) - killed by his own men in the hour of his greatest glory at Chancellorsville.

Earl Van Dorn (Confederate) - killed in a duel with his medical officer over the latter's wife.

Sidney Johnston (Confederate) - killed in the first big battle in the West, regarded by some as the best General in America.

Joseph E. Johnston (Confederate, and no relation to the above) - badly wounded and hospitalised in the Peninsula campaign, and having to be replaced by Robert E. Lee. They tried to put Johnston back in uniform before he was properly recovered, and he had to go back to hospital.

John Bell Hood (Confederate) - lost and arm and a leg, but remained a popular leader, strapped to his horse.
