How many casualties were in the US Civil War Battle of Gettysburg?

Answer 1

Concerning the US Civil War Battle of Gettysburg, between 46,000 and 51,000 Americans were casualties in the three-day battle. This includes soldiers killed, wounded, and captured or missing. It's safe to assume some of the men who were missing could have died and not found. The Union: 3,155 men killed The Confederacy: 4,708 killed If you are considering "casualties" to only be those men who died on the battlefield, the total would be 7,863.

Various sources provide varying numbers of losses. Some go into great detail of breaking down the killed, wounded, captured and MIA's. Basically the above figure on 46-51 casualties is accurate enough.

Answer 2

Union Army:

3,155 killed
14,531 wounded
5,369 captured or missing


Confederate Army:

4,708 killed
12,693 wounded
5,830 captured or missing

Answer 3

The total of Confederate casualties is given as 23,231. 4,708 killed, 12,693 wounded, and 5,830 missing or captured. This was for the three day battle at Gettysburg. The larger Union army suffered a few thousand more. For the entire campaign, which began in early June when the Rebel army started to move north, and ended in mid-July when the Rebel army crossed back to the south side of the Potomac River, total casualties including the climactic three days at Gettysburg totaled around 27,000. There were a dozen or so smaller battles going to and from Gettysburg. Many of those counted as "missing" were dead, and some have never been found. In the last twenty years two Rebel soldiers remains have been found on the battlefield and properly buried. Many of those counted as wounded would later die, and many POWs would also die in northern POW camps. All that being said, numbers about anything in the Civil War are never, ever exact or precise. These are best estimates derived from careful sudy of reports. No other single event in American history has had so much study and so much written and published about it, so these figures might be more exact than those available for many other Civil War battles, but they are assuredly not exact. The battlefield was in Union hands after the Rebels departed, and the burying was done by troops detailed for that purpose and also by some civilian volunteers. The Rebels were buried in mass graves dug in various convenient places. This was done as soon as possible, as the masses of dead men and horses were an obvious health hazard, and the smell in the July heat was unbearable. Enemy dead were understandably not the subject of as much concern as were the Union dead.
