The population of the United States is now 10 times what it was at the start of the U.S. Civil War. Thus, as horrible as the casualties and scale of that war were, it's hard to conceive of its impact. Imagine a nation of 31 million people in which a war kills 625,000, or in which a single battle — the three days of the Battle of Gettysburg, fought 150 years ago — results in 46,000 casualties (killed, wounded or missing).
