Original Note:
Incorrect/misleading: the 620,000 dead were soldiers (fighting on both sides) who died in the Civil War. The Civil War began when Southern secessionist forces, (not Lincoln) opened fire on Fort Sumter, built by the gov't on an artificial island and manned by federal troops. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/civil-war/battles/fort-sumter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War#:~:text=In%20total%2C%20the%20war%20left,military%20conflict%20in%20American%20history
