Don't ask Chat GPT. Literally NATOpedia is more reliable. That said, it doesn't have an answer either lol.
I don't think there were that many civilian deaths. It would take several more decades for war to become especially deadly. Plus, most of the atrocities were settler and slaver violence. For example, the massacre of over ninety Moravian civilians in the Gnadenhutten massacre towards the end of the war.
Yeah the chatGPT bit was a bit of an understatement. I searched it and clicked all the top links that came up but it was all just people speculating on quora and such or accounts of battlefield deaths but surprisingly few hard numbers on civilians. It was a civil war, there had to be casualties, I need to know how many 9/11s it was
