Wasted enough time on this. Your source is slanted and the title screams it... your numbers are nitpicked and over-embellished

Ah, so you've met BroJoeK? Yup, that pretty much sums up his methodology.

If you want a laugh, ask him about "Pearl Harbor", and how it was exactly like Ft. Sumter. :)

But in this case as in others, my numbers are totally accurate, so far as historians can tell, and the comparisons of casualties for "butcher" Grant versus "brilliant" Lee totally apt.

But as in so much else, since you don't like the results you hand-wave them away -- "can't be true", "nitpicked & over-embellished".

Nope. Even when truth hurts, it's still true.
