This meme brings up many questions, like who inflicted that extra 2.7% of casualties on Grant? And was Lee using necromancy on .5% of his troops? And why has data analysis ruined my appreciation for a good meme?
Not sure you're reading this right. This is percentage of casualties inflicted/received. It would be very unusual if they mirrored each other.
I'm absolutely sure I'm reading it wrong. In retrospect, probably deliberately, but in my defense, I got completely entranced by the idea of Confederate necromancy... the concept of Lee summoning the dead in a last gasp to save the South is as delicious as Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer.
And I ~~was~~ am high. Which isn't a defense, but it makes for one hell of an offense.
"It's not enough that those secesh bastards enslave the living, now they're enslaving the dead too!"
