I am going to assume that this question is asking about the American Revolutionary War that was fought to establish independence from Britain. The exact number of soldiers that died as a result of the war is difficult to know. The records were not as robust and well documented as compared to what we have today. Therefore, the death numbers are estimates. Additionally, the question is not clear about whether or not to include deaths that occurred outside of actual combat. Civilwar.org lists that an estimated 6,800 Americans were killed in combat. Another 17,000 died from disease, and somewhere between 8,000 to 12,000 died while being held prisoners of war. That's only American deaths. The British death totals are around 24,000, and nearly 8,000 Hessian soldiers died during the war.
