I have seen 620,000 as the number of Union dead. Southern dead were a smaller number

"In all, around 360,000 Union soldiers died as a direct result of the war. The Confederacy lost 260,000 dead."

Thousands Serving: killed: died: wounded: total
Civil War: Union 2,803.3: 110,070: 249,458: 275,175: 634,703:
Confederate 1,064.2: 74,524: 124,000: 137,000 +: 335,524 :
Combined 3,867.5: 184,594: 373,458: 412,175 +: 970,227:

This suggests that totals of killed, died and wounded are around 970,227.

I agree, I got confused there. You got me. congratulations.
