800K -1.2 million dead if you count Union Confederate and civilian casualties
2-3  million wounded

that was about 5% of the total population

that war was fought with 18th century military tactics and 19th century weapons
some of the battles were unbelievable slaughter

I just finished watching that WW2 documentary on Netflix. New footage in color. The atrocity's committed revealed mankind's worst instincts. So many dead. It has shaken my faith and made me ask " God! Where were you?"

Even then the propaganda hid things from us.

I encourage you to watch it.

Not to mention the lack of medical technology.
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

At first they just stood across from one another and fired single shots until one side   lost enough men they retreated

I vote the same a gcode. We lost more people in The Civil War THAN ALL OTHER WARS WE HAVE FOUGHT IN [size=200]COMBINED[/size]!!! It was literally father against son, uncle against nephew, brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor.

These people that talk about Civil War II as if it's some glorious thing to look forward to. They have no f*****g clue how bad it was. My Grandmother passed down the letters from her Great Great Uncle (I think) and her Grandfather... ROUGH. And if it ever gets to round two? The next one will make that one look like a schoolyard brawl.

Things aren't great right now. Probably not quite as bad as the 60's; Barry Hussein's boys in Weather Underground, Symbianese Liberation Army, etc... those guys make Antifa look like the Frosh squad. I think we're headed there. Antifa wants to go there... probably waiting for an opportune time. But still...
