Hmmm...my numbers are different than yours on deaths. My sources show about 4,500 dead on battlefields and about 11,000 dead on the prison ships. Do the additional deaths come from deaths in other prisons?

I just did a search and saw 25,700. Regardless, my point was that the death toll had no real effect on the overall population.

Ah, but there is no count there for death due to illness, after-effects of battle injury, etc. Undoubtedly the bulk of deaths came from medical-related issues.
