Answer: The correct answer is : Approximately 620,000 soldiers died in combat, accidents, hunger and disease during the Civil War.

Explanation: The civil war took place between the northern (Union) and southern (confederation) armies, the northern ones emerged victorious and the rebel states returned to the Union. Two thirds of the people killed in the civil war died of illness. The average age of the victims was 18 to 45 years.
