Numbers matter in war. How big was the Union Army compared to the Confederates?
Answer Twice the size
At 2,100,000 soldiers, the Union Army outstripped the Confederates (at 1,064,000) nearly twice over. This difference is reflective of the population size in the North and to the South at that time – with the North at 22 million and the South at 9 million.
