The answer is below

Explanation:

After the American Civil War, a lot of things were lost, including economy, culture, and humans (soldiers and civilians)

Hence, the human cost during the American civil war is as follows:

1. Union combat deaths in actual battle otalled 111,904

2. Union soldiers death through diseases equals 197,388

3. A good number of 30,192 were imprisoned,

4. 24,881 Union soldiers died as a result of accidents.

5. Another 277,401 Union solders were wounded.

6. Confederate casualties were nearly as high, with approximately 94,000 combat deaths, 140,000 deaths by disease; and 195,000 men wounded.

In other words, after the american civil war, the human costs of the war, aside the battlefield deaths, were as result of disease, caused by poor sanitation, primitive medical practices, and contaminated water supplies, the average regiment lost half its fighting strength from disease during the first year.
