"Many (white) people died in the Civil War to free the slaves."
An estimated 698,000 Americans died during the Civil War. This number represents a significant loss, accounting for roughly 2.5% of the US population at the time. The death toll included both military and civilian casualties, with disease and infection being significant factors in addition to battlefield deaths.
Nearly 40,000 black soldiers died over the course of the war—30,000 of infection or disease. So, the death toll is nearly all white.
