Three are types of casualties KIA,WIA,MIA. 50K is total casualties. There was a 4:1 wounded to killed ratio for most battles. MIA's were not insignificant, usually failure ti identify a body. So the figures add up. (wiki):

CSA 23,055

(3,155 killed, 14,531 wounded, 5,369 captured/missing)

USA 23,231

(4,708 killed, 12,693 wounded, 5,830 captured/missing)

Thanks.

The article said 51,000 “lives lost,” and I snapped it up without thinking about it first.
