You're off by an order of magnitude. According to my almanac, American troops killed and wounded combined were 10,643. I would expect British casualties to be similar, and civilian causualities lower.

Hmmm...I seem to recall deaths by disease (esp. smallpox) outnumbered deaths by combat, as was usual in such wars of the times. Now, I don't know if you can count those deaths as directly caused by the wars, but if you do, deaths would be much higher.
