Those causality numbers aren’t even close.
Are you really so burdened by your Western "exceptionalism"!?
When you make a conflict in which the Russians participated, you multiply their losses by 10, and when it comes to a conflict in which someone from the current NATO participated, you divide their losses by 10!?
Even your western crappy wikipedia says that the casualties in that civil war were over 800000!
Crazy how the confedreates put such a massive fight despite being massively outnumbered
Because the South knew they would be outnumbered fast. They had no choice but to keep attacking hoping to break the North before they could reinforce. North did that, without panicking and trying to take back lost territory which the South wanted to happen. "You give a little to take a lot."
@@jdgarcia2004 the south won one-sided battles way against the odds on top of that even when they were outnumbered. But they lost because they were slowly starved out and outmanned everywhere.
@@gamerland5007 that's what I just said; ABE LINCOLN knew the longer the war went on, the more of an advantage he would had
they fought for their freedom....
@@gamerland5007Not true. They were good at winning battles and making spectacles out of them, but they weren’t good at winning wars. Realistically, there was never any hope for them. They couldn’t have won. It’s simply not possible. This is in the same way the germans in world war two couldn’t have won in the way they wanted. They were good at winning battles, but not at winning wars.
Regardless of the various criticisms noted by others, the video would be much better if:
- Cities, railways (at the time), and battles had been marked.
- The casualty counters had have been in the lower right rather than over contested territory.
- You tabulated battle deaths, other military deaths, and civilian deaths.
- Naval battles had been marked.
the casualties are insanely inaccurate, but this is very well made.
Glory glory hallelujah!
I think the creator was referring to combat deaths, since many if not most were from disease.
yes but the total on the casualties witch the video shows is 132,286 witch is 22,186 more than realty
@@tonyjesus1657
Disease and civilian casualties were way higher
both of those ideas make sense, still seems off.
if i’m not mistaken the battle of Pittsburgh was bloodier than D day
0:06 when the casualties went to 1, i felt that, it was a very depressing lost 😢
Same i cried
But really, is there a story to that? Being a first & only casualty for 1,5 months sounds special.
@@karlkreisner5278yeah I'm wondering who that was
So the first casualty of the war was at Fort Sumter. He was not killed by the bombardedment of the fort, when the garrison surrendered the fort they wanted to fire off the cannons and do a 50 gun salute but oneof the barrels burst and killed one of the men on the cannon crew. Nobody was killed in the actual conflict there, it was just a freak accident
@@ColtLuttrell Woah, thats even more depressing
In total, some 600,000-750,000 soldiers died during the ACW as well as many civilians, making the the total casualties even higher, so the figures shown in the video are totally inaccurate. For example, in the Battle of Gettysburg, some 50,000-60,000 soldiers died... and that was just one battle...
2011 research considered that it can be actually up to 850k. But I disagree with your numbers at Gettysburg. there Union lost 3,155 killed, 14,531 wounded, 5,369 captured or missing, while Confederates - those numbers are less precise - 4,708 killed, 12,693 wounded, 5,830 captured or missing (but maybe totally Rebs lost 3-4 thousand more in altogether dead, wounded and missing).
50000 to 60000 casualties, not deaths.
60k killed, wounded, or missing
...and one in four deaths at G-burg were North Carolinians.
Gettysburg 50.000 - 60.000 soldiers died... For heaven Sake! in fact, killed around 7.000
The mapping is innaccurate as well as the casualties. In fact the Battle of Union City, TN happened in December 1862. But i as a geographer noticed that the Confederate Territory never expanded in any way to Union City. I did notice that around that time they stretched out real quickly but is rather accurate however they didnt go far enough
Using conventional battle lines for this wasn't really a good idea considering the battle lines didn't stretch like they did in ww 1 or 2. Might have been better and easier to highlight the battles and maybe the places where the armies actually faced off.
@@harleymccartney7339 Not sure if i get your point?
@@noorna7123 My Apologies, it was obviously a typo, i meant 1862
I don’t have to imagine I did , I was just 13 when we got ac. My grandparents never got ac they lived to be in 90’s.
I believe they are only counting death from combat and left out death from disease
Imagine living in the south with no air conditioning
That was pretty much everyone before the 1950s.
@@Novusod That must have sucked
what is bro on ? 😭
No wonder they rebeled 🤔
Some poor people in the south don't have AC, with global warming more and more people are suffering heavily, it's terrible
The casualties (dead, injured and captured) were WAY higher than the counter with the actual total casualties on both sides exceeding 600,000. I assume that the counter was only including the soldiers killed in the line of duty, be it from wounds sustained in battle or from disease.
nah
I noticed the ticker didn’t move as much in relation to the battle of Gettysburg
I think the casualty ticker was just on a consistent pace, moving towards an end number at an even pace. The end number isn't even correct, for deaths only, and doesn't count total casualties. Also, the ticker doesn't jump at all on the dates for the 13 biggest battles, where thousands of casualties happened in only a few days.
Even with your caveat, the numbers are completely innaccurate. Official statistics from the North state 141,000 KIA (in combat) for the Union ALONE .. plus 224K dead from epidemic disease and delayed death from battle wounds (mostly infection) ..... Confederate stats are less well organized but state about 200K fatalities. Recent research suggests that Confederate casualties were much higher
The most accurate figures are 1.1 million casualties with 620,000 of which were deaths.
feels like the south didnt have an overall strategy of how to win. the north seems like they knew what to do from the start.
South's strategy was always defensive, save for the two times Lee invaded the north. If he hadn't done that they may well have won.
@@harleymccartney7339They wouldn’t have won defensively either, infact the norths strategy was to lengthen out the war so that the south couldn’t sustain and that they were also outnumbered
@@Ibloop What really won the war was the 1864 election. Had Lincoln lost we'd be two countries right now. Thankfully, he didn't.
The North tried to capture the Southern capital, Richmond, from the start. To do so was considered the best way to win a war, which McClellan and others had learned. By March 1865, the North still hadn't succeeded in that, although it was winning by then.
. . . Only the later years showed that Scott's strategy of the Anaconda was actually the better approach. Grant used and modified it.
@@harleymccartney7339Polk, Zollicofer, and Bragg also attempted to invade Kentucky, and there were multiple attempts to invade Missouri. Every one of those attempts also ended in failure and contributed to the failed strategy, as you rightly note.
Do Bloods vs. Crips next, with the LA city map.
Well, it became a nation wide skirmish after the 70’s. I know of one particular kid having moved his act to the Midwest and is now doing life.
do the casualties represent deaths only as that seems way too low. I've seen 600k for dead & wounded, it also shows the Unions attrition war from about sept.64 onwards - what a waste.
I will have to look up why it says there are only 137,000 casualties.
i think the numbers in this video are not true lol
I'm pretty sure the numbers shown are battlefield casualties
@@christophernakhoul3998 supposedly only 650,000 soldiers have died in All American wars. So it is likely correct, I guess.
@@jls0037cslewis1 600,000+ soldiers died in the civil war alone. However, most of these were due to disease and deaths in POW camps. The numbers in the video are strictly battlefield related deaths.
Yeah, that's wrong. 659,000 Union and Confederate soldiers died in the war.
Never forget 2 turning point battles: Vicksburg Ms. & Gettysburg, Pa.
Your map was fairly good, you are missing a few back and forth incursions, especially in the east. Your troop strengths are off by quite a bit, and your casualties are waaaaaay off, not even close. It's almost as if just a counter was running at the same rate the whole video. There should have been massive jumps in casualties about 13 times that didn't happen: Shiloh (24,000 total casualties in 2 days), 7 Days (36,000 in 7 days), Perryville (8,000 in 1 day), 2nd Manassas (22,000 in 3 days), Antietam (23,000 in 1 day), Fredericksburg (18,000 in 2 days), Stones River (26,000 in 3 days), Chancellorsville (30,000 in 6 days), Gettysburg (43,000 in 3 days), Chickamauga (36,000 in 3 days), The Wilderness (29,000 in 3 days), Spotsylvania Courthouse (31,000 in 8 days), Cold Harbour (18,000 in 3 days). When the counter ran by these dates, the casualties did not jump. Good videos, but if you are going to do historical pieces, get them right.
There using deaths wounded as well so fuck you mean get them right they are nearly good

Somebody has to go first.
Why casaulties are so low in this video? Wikipedia says 360k (110k KIA) at US side and 290k (94k KIA) at confederates side, other sources have similar statistics, some of them even says that number can be up to 850k combined.

You should of put the numbers all the way to the right side of the map since thats where most of the fights happened
Can u pls do russian civil war but with numbers or winter war also with numbers
It'll be very interesting
Dude grant has a single campaign in 64 which lost him 84,000 Union soldiers
Lee lost more soldiers than Grant overall.
@@Ares99999that's false
@@tylerhodges11 It's complicated depending on how you count, but arguably true: Lee lost a higher percentage of forces under his command than Grant did, and also arguably more numbers overall, but that had to do with how many troops each of them had under their command at any given time. For example, when Lee was the chief commander of the overall Confederacy, arguably all the losses in the Western Theater get counted for him, even though he wasn't commanding the battles.
But also made more complicated because Grant had the bigger army towards the end especially. But that tends to happen when you're winning the war.
@@thexalon it's says Lee lost up to 90 thousands while grants lost near 110 000 this was all in Virginia under lee command
@@tylerhodges11Since you don't tell me what "it's" is, I can't tell where you're getting your numbers or verify their correctness.
Since the Union forces were overall about double the size of the Confederate forces, that meant that while the Union had ~75,000 more killed overall, 29% of Confederate soldiers died while only 17% of Union soldiers died. But of course only some of that happened under Grant's and Lee's command on both sides.
In the Overland Campaign, the only time when Grant and Lee were both field commanders pitted against each other, Grant had 120,000 troops, of which 7600 were KIA, 38000 wounded, and 9000 missing, for 6% KIA and 45.5% lost overall. Lee had 65000 troops, of which 4300 were KIA, 19000 wounded, and 10000 missing, for 6% KIA and 51.2% lost overall. Plus Lee had the advantage of being the defender with prepared positions. So the claim that Lee was vastly better than Grant at avoiding casualties is probably not true.
Are you using some kind of frame generation AI? The numbers now look extremely distracting with them warping and creating artifacts.
This is a slowed down version of the original
There is a tutorial out there on this.
Can definitely see which way you lean, politically. Try switching the colors to more accurately reflect party lines
The casulties on both sides were maybe 5 to 6 times higher, while normally wounded soldiers are also regarded as casulties so maybe rather 20 to 30 times higher. My theory, as a non-english speaker, is that "casaulties" is something special, so maybe only the guys sitting on a horse being shot or civilian losses..
If the tractor had been invented sooner, the war might not have happened.
Unless contraband tractors will be sent to Canada from Georgia 🙂
Mechanical cotton harvesters finally appeared in the late 1920's. Too bad no one could figure out how to move past slavery before then.
? Ain’t no way capital is giving up free labor and total control. And I mean after the war you had stuff like sharecropping and even now farmworkers are largely cut out of labor protection legislation.
@@54321jcc Slavery had been legal in New England and other Northern states and was, in fact given up voluntarily by those states at different points in the late 1700's.
@@johnporter4628 And the economies and cultures of those states were very different. Chattel slavery was built up and integral to how the southern states ticked in different way. As long as those same people were in power they were never going to give that up on their own.
Casualty numbers are off by a factor of 10 at least
Bro casualties are insanely small for both sides than it's supposed to
Curious to know how significant of a difference exists between playing on a 0 compared with a 00 wheel?
Only showing 130k casualties? There were over 600k casualties in that war.
Summer of '63 was rough for the Confederates.
-West Virginia seceded from Virginia and became an American State.
-Grant's victory at Vicksburg split the Confederacy in two.
-Lee's defeat at Gettysburg made the rest of the war a formality.
The casualties are completely wrong. There were 650k deaths, let alone just casualties.
It appears that the video maker was including only combat deaths, in which case it was fairly accurate. But labeling them "casualties" instead of "combat deaths" is incorrect.
Including those who died of wounds up to a couple of years after the war around 750,000 had died.
nicely done, but historically completely distorted, not only this map but also other maps, correct it and it will be nice
130 thousand casualties is not correct…
Ya half of this isn't even close to correct
I was always told about 500,000 people died there because casualties at 60,000 each
how do you program animation. what kind of card?
Casualties are way off. Gettysburg alone had 52,000
Kentucky was never in the confederacy. Also, how accurate are the troop strengths? Seems crazy that the union started 1865 with ~600k and merely 4 months later they were at half that strength. Were they disbanding units because they knew the end was near?
1) great video; and 2) pretty big omission on the Battle of Schrute Farms. Northernmost battle of the war. And total deaths? Sure Gettysburg wins. But when we're talking DPA - deaths per acre - the Battle of Schrute Farms is way more.
There's a place in the video where the CSA is shown to be in control of a small portion of Massechusetts. I think the location is off a bit, but I believe that is a reference to the Battle of Schrute Farms.
@@aaronfleming9426 Indeed. I suspect the mislocation is a further attempt to distract by the Civil War history industry.

Courageous and supporters of slavery
The guys in red were desperate to keep the right to oppress and enslave people with brown skin. The blue were trying to free the slaves.
Basically the red folks are universally acknowledged bad guys.
They wanted nothin to do with the North East states. Sound familiar?
Red was bad, blue was good. History is written by the victor.
Casualty counts are way way off
Um.. what flags are you using? How can we believe you know anything when its wrong from the start?
Causalty data is inaccurate... simply more than 50.000 people died in Gettysburg and no jump occurred in the first days of july 1863
bro wrong confedarate flag and the casualties on the confedarecy there was 280000 deaths and 560000 on the union
War ended in April 1865
But went on into July 1865 ???
Just like in ww1 and ww2 it always takes time for soldiers to stop fighting
The confederates specially in the early days of the war had much less casualties than the Union and by the end of the war total casualties had risen to a staggering 800 000+ from each side!
Losing your largest city with barely a shot fired early on in the war. Everyone likes to drone on and on about the so-called superiority of the CSA, but how do you explain that?
A few shots were fired by the US ironclads that captured New Orleans. It helped that the Confederate Spirit wasn't very high there.
Lack of navy, inadequate resources committed to the forts defending New Orleans, poor strategy, lots of wishful thinking.
The CSA inflicted about 70-75k more casualties than they suffered bc they had better sharp shooters despite being outnumbered 4-1
@@user-ru9cj1mv4eThe CSA was never (or almost never) outnumbered 4:1 in a major battle, in part because vast numbers of Union troops were required to protect supply lines through hostile territory. The casualty disparity is the result of the reality that the Union had to go on the offensive while the rebels often had the option of fighting from behind fortifications.
You can confirm my claim by examining battles where the CSA was on the offensive: Mill Springs, Gaines Mill, Malvern Hill, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, etc. Next, compare those to battles where they were on the defensive: Fredericksburg, 1 and 2 Bull Run, the assaults at Vicksburg, Cold Harbor, etc.
@@aaronfleming9426 the north had more population more factories and were more equipped and still suffered more casualties

I’m thinking you should’ve put the song Union Dixie over it
No one cares about your sexual preference.
Kentucky is wholly mishandled here, particularly given the attention given Missouri and that far chunk of VA that eventually grew into West VA. KY never seceded, was never in the control of the Confederacy, and, though inarguably a culturally Southern commonwealth, sentiments in the state were as 50/50 as in any in the borderlands. I have Kentucky ancestors from each side, as so many of us do.
I think the casualties count is wildly inaccurate
It definitely is " For more than a century, the most-accepted estimate was about 620,000 dead. A specific figure of 618,222 is often cited, with 360,222 Union deaths and 258,000 Confederate deaths."
@@LocestSwarmSC831 Most of the deaths were actually due to disease and not direct combat action, but I think even the combat fatalities are underestimated here.
yeah it’s insanely low, given a few battles were even worse than D-day
Maybe he didn’t count disease deaths which makes up 2/3rds of deaths
Ok? Considering there were more than 600,000 military deaths between '61 and '65... I think your numbers are slightly off
Crazy how that has less than 110,000 casualties when over 680,000 soldiers died combined on both sides in the actual Civil War

First of all you used the juvenile, pejorative word "crying", which already shows a lack of respect - the very thing you're asking others to have. Secondly, if the statistics are far from accurate, then the video isn't worth much, no matter how much effort was put into it.

The confederate flag should have been changed to a white flag at the end of it
And the Confederate flag was never the one shown; that was just the Army of Northern Virginia. It should be the "Stars and Bars" flag.
Casualties totaled about 610,000 by the end of the war. Your numbers are so trashed. About 28,000 casualties alone at Gettysburg.
The number of losses were about 600k. Wtf.
How was the Union able to take eastern Louisiana so quickly into the war?
I'm not sure, but some states did appeal there seccession and rejoin the union during the war.
Nice idea, lack in execution.
The underlying map was modern, with population centers at Dallas and Houston and with major traffic arteries connecting many cities. In contrast, there were only bad streets and a few railroad lines back then, but they were MASSIVELY important.
At 4/20/1865, the eastern theater should have switched blue, then the southeastern theater, all one by one, until Texas in June 1865.
The fact Kentucky was a southern state 💀💀💀
...but neutral in the war, according to its self-declaration.
Kentucky still the south. Funny how Cincinnati is the border from north to south..
Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and West Virginia were slave states who stayed in the Union. Unfortunate they are colored with the Confederacy here
The numbers are so fucking inaccurate. In 1864, Grant commanded an overall force of 2 million men against a combined Confederate army of 700,000. And that's without discussing the casualties.
Union has as 1 million till 2 million soldiers, most in reserve not in battle.. The massive soldier costs has ruined the USA after the war.
Funny how Kentucky wasn’t a confederate state
