" Of a Northern population of 20 million , 2.1 million men had entered the armed forces and 360,000 of them died . Some 260,000 confederates died out of a population half the size of the North's roughly 20% of the white adult male population of the South. In the first years after the war , one fifth of Mississippi's budget paid for prostetic limbs for veterans.. " Dennis McNally . Besides not having a strong manufacturing base the south expected a short war and had a high desertion rate amoungst soldiers. The North had an endless supply of Irish immigrants coming into Ellis Island that could be drafted and sent to the war. For a century after the war the South acheived a great political advantage over the North. The South did not exaclty lose the Civil War even though a surrender took place.
