Janeczko captures readers' attention again in the last
sentence of the paragraph with a surprising fact. He
writes that there were "about 620,000 soldiers"
killed during the Civil War, which is a huge number,
and he illustrates this with a comparison to total
deaths in other wars. These numbers emphasize how
significant the Civil War was and how important it is
to learn more about it.
