Best Answer

In absolute numbers, they didn't. The best estimates of careful scholars are that 360,000 northern men died and 260,000 southern men.

As a percentage of the population though, the southern loss was greater. There were four northern men, roughly, for every southern white man. There were 21 million people in the north, and 5.5 million white people in the south.
