More Americans were killed in that war than were killed in World Wars One and Two, Korea, and Vietnam combined.

Why is that even a statistic? If we are talking about "Dogs eat Dogs", why are Cats brought into the statistic? Shouldn't you just use the Union Numbers to compare the other wars so, because technically the Confederate were a different "nation", having succeeded from the United States of America.
Theoretically, most of the Union soldiers were not Native Born Americans; quiet a few of them were foreign immigrants just arriving through Elise Island.
Oh and "God Bless the Republicans who fought for Emancipation".
