the ACTUAL NUMBER KILLED was about ONE MILLION. about HALF of those were innocent CIVILIANS.

MOST of the civilian deaths were KILLED or otherwise directly caused by the Union forces.

to quote Dr. Susan Brownmiller of Harvard University:

"The Union army raged through the southland like a pack of rabid swine,robbing, murdering,burning,torturing, RAPING & murdering whoever was unfortunate enough to be in their path. The poorest of the poor, slaves & persons of colour suffered WORST OF ALL (emphasis, mine)from the invasion."

that is FACT!

Probably because the war was in the south for the most part.

The most anyone can document is 350 and the rate of union soldier rape to confederate soldier rape against their own women looks the same.
