About 625,000 military deaths. The highest total for any war the U.S. has participated in to date. There are wildly differing numbers for civilians.

all we have is estimates. here you are hun. http://www.civilwarhome.com/casualties.htm this is what wiki had to say. you can trust it if you want i think it has just as much chance of being accurate. "The war produced about 1,030,000 casualties (3% of the population), including about 620,000 soldier deaths—two-thirds by disease.[147] The war accounted for more casualties than all other U.S. wars combined.[148] The causes of the war, the reasons for its outcome, and even the name of the war itself are subjects of lingering controversy today. About 4 million black slaves were freed in 1861-65. Based on 1860 census figures, 8% of all white males aged 13 to 43 died in the war, including 6% in the North and an extraordinary 18% in the South.[149]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War
