The Lincoln Library in Springfield, Illinois has a display on the Civil War and there’s a running counter of the daily deaths that cover the war years and I remember it was around 700,000 on both sides. The war covered an area equivalent of the distance from Oslo, Norway to Athens, Greece. Greece being the same size as Arkansas or Alabama. On the same note, you can almost fit two and a half Europe’s in the US.

The easternmost land battle was probably Williamsburg, Va., and the westenmost was Picacho Peak, about 40 miles west of Tuscon, Ariz. The westernmost contact was apparently at Stanwix Station, on the Gila River near present-day Dateland, Ariz. These all took place in 1862. The distance between Williamsburg and Tucson is about 2300 miles.
