About 33,000 black soldiers of the North died, about 250 of the South, and less than 200 in the NYC riots of July 1863.
Both sides were punished for the sins of slavery and racism. Why? Mankind always punishes itself.

How do confederate bible thumpers make peace with the fact that God was clearly on the side of the Union in the Civil War?
denial? avoidance? straight up ignorance?
The conundrum is in the ignorance of the bigots. Some accounts give Union losses at about 350,000 and Confederate losses at about 250,000. The draft riots in New York city may have resulted in the deaths of innocent Black people than in combat.
