The Civil War was the deadliest conflict in United States history, with an estimated 620,000 people killed. However, some historians have speculated the casualties may have been much larger with some estimates up to 850,000. One issue with getting an accurate number is the lack of written records during the time of the war in the 1860s. Regardless of the exact number, America suffered great losses during the conflict, but some states lost more young men to the fighting than others. (To get an idea of the reality of the brutality of the Civil War, see these 25 horrifying Civil War images.)
