Non-Battle losses were higher on both sides. Over 60% of Confederate deaths were due to non-battle causes such as disease; Union non-battle losses were nearly 70%. It has been difficult to get accurate statistics for Civil War losses, because so many of the officers and clerks responsible for keeping track of those numbers were themselves casualties. Many estimates of Civil War mortality statistics do not vary significantly from each other. Here is a typical one: The Confederacy had at most 1.25 million combatants. Estimated deaths were 258,000 total with 94,000 battle losses and 164,000 non-battle losses. The Union had at most 2.75 million combatants. Estimated deaths were 360,000 total with 110,000 battle losses and 250,000 non-battle losses.
