These were just the able-bodied men over 18 years old. It's likely that
many of the able-bodied men were killed in battle, or while they were
slaves, which means that they were probably a smaller percentage of the
population then than they are today. And today, they are only a quarter of
the American population, which means that 600,000 able-bodied men over 18 is
the quivalent of a total population of 2.4 million, conservatively.
