The BATTLE CASULTIES plaque is the last element added to the American Civil War Memorial.

​

This plaque shows the top ten (10) highest number of losses from battles fought during the civil war, April 12, 1861 to April 9, 1865. 

 

The three (3) day battle of Gettysburg, PA, shows 51,112 losses. The battle of Antietam, MD, which lasted one (1) day, totaled 26,134. These numbers help to empathize the significant cost.
