They based their calculations as KIA/combatant. They defined their terms...and IMO, it's a reasonable parameter.

And my numbers for the RevWar go something like this:

KIA: 6,245
Died as a POW: 11.000+ (11k is the number given for those that died just on the Brit prison ships in Wallabout Bay off the East River in NYC).

That's what I thought too.

I recall reading the population was about evenly split into thirds. One third Patriots, one third Tories, one third just hanging loose to see who would win.
