actually, it was much nearer a MILLION that died as a direct (including combat deaths & war crimes against civilians) AND indirect results (from starvation/war-related disease/exposure, for example, when innocent noncombatants died as a result of the DAMNyankees destroying crops/livestock/real property during & immediately after) of the WBTS.
the statists/DAMNyankees don't want to count civilians who were victims of atrocities/war crimes/died of "indirect causes", as it makes the DYs look BAD!!!
