article with convincing numbers.

联邦军伤亡63万人

--The English documents only list 620k soldiers (from both sides). I will double check. I might be wrong. The Northern army was very incompetent with many shabby generals. With much superior population advantage, this war still stretched over 4 years.

但较好的解决了农民的土地问题，

--can you elaborate? What does it mean? Land in North and South are always privately owned, right? The war changed any thing specifically here?

So all land were were re-distributed to the Black or poor white in the South?

Most of the mid-west land were distributed through the Homestead Act of 1850s/1860s. So I suppose the war did not have impact on the mid-west region.

为美国资本主义的加速发展扫清了道路，并为美国跻身于世界强国之列奠定了基础。

--the whole industrialization only happened in the North-eastern, mid-west region(rust-belt), and the Pacific coast. The south remained poor and non-industrialized over the next 100 years.

Sometimes I do not understand some Chinese articles, because there are logical loopholes there.
