No one can say with absolute certainty, because no one knows exactly how many men served in the Confederate Army, nor exactly how many of them died. Estimates of the number of men who served in the Confederate Army vary from an unlikely low of 600,000 to 1.1 million. A reasonable estimate of the actual number is 900,000. The best, most careful accounting of the number of dead is 260,000, which would be about 28% of 900,000. But not all were "killed". Disease took two lives in the army for every one the enemy did, on both sides. So somewhere around 87,000 Confederates were killed by the enemy, and the rest died from disease. That would put the number of killed at around 9%.
