At least 618,000 Americans died in the Civil War or War Between the States, and some experts say the toll reached 700,000. The number that is most often quoted is 620,000. At any rate, these casualties exceed the nation’s loss in all its other wars, from the Revolution through Vietnam.

The Union armies had from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 men. Their losses, by the best estimates:

Battle deaths: 110,070
Disease, etc.: 250,152
Total 360,222

The Confederate strength, known less accurately because of missing records, was from 750,000 to 1,250,000. Its estimated losses:

Battle deaths: 94,000
Disease, etc.: 164,000
Total 258,000

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

My great grandfather lost a limb. My great-great grandfather died in the war as so did his brother.

If there reparations, I intend to stand in line.

I think you may have misunderstood my correction. What Phleger is arguing is that American whites bear blood guilt for slavery, which means the guilt is passed in the blood from generation to generation. His argument is akin to the anti-semitic argument that every Jew that is born bears blood guilt for the death of Jesus.
