Revising the number of Civil War Deaths: More Southern Deaths.

 From a newly released research report comparing North and South deaths during the American Civil War:

"By our calculation, 698,000 individuals perished as the result of the Civil War. This revises upward the long-held underestimate of 618,000 (+14%) and adjusts downward by 54,000 (−7%) the most recent overestimate from the 1% sample. Our migration-adjusted excess mortality method highlights the war’s disproportionate impact on the Confederacy: Southern states saw an average of 13% of their military-age NBWM die, compared to fewer than 5% in Northern states. Notably, this method can also be used at the county level for more fine-grained analyses."

(Report finds an increase of 13.7%  deaths in Alabama.)
