What were the survival rates of the wounded in the American Civil War?

by MandrakeThePancake

In a lot of American Civil War battles, e.g. Gettysburg, Spotsylvania Court House etc. the number of wounded far exceeded the number of the dead.

This begs the question, what were the survival rates of these wounded soldiers in the days and weeks after each battle?

I wrote about this a long time ago in an AMA we had on the Civil War, so this response might be of interest to you.
