estimates available.]
[Footnote 2: Includes 3,760,000 slaves in the seceded states.]
[Footnote 3: A number of these were returned to duty. In the Union Army,
those who were not fit for combat were placed in the Veteran Reserve
Corps and performed administrative duties.]
[Footnote 4: An undetermined number were exchanged and returned to
duty.]
[Footnote 5: Many deserters returned to duty. In the Union Army, where
