How many civilians died during the American revolution? (hexbear.net)

Recent events have me curious about exactly how bloody the American revolution was. I tried asked chatGPT but it was evasive at best so I was hoping some more history minded hexbears could help me out. Bonus points for examples of innocent people caught in the crossfire. I want to throw some stats at the liberals in my life about what even a "good" revolution looks like.

Ah, but you forgot to also include the population of Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean, so it would actually be a much larger number of 9/11s.

I beginning to suspect that in addition to being awkward to decimalize, a 9/11 is not an accurate measure of tragedy. Maybe we should go back to the Vietnam standard?

The only thing Americans understand is 9/11s, McRib, and do imperialism.
