I like your tome, I can’t find much info on actual civilian deaths caused by Federal troops in GA. campaign. I think most of the atrocities were against property.

Looking for stats after the bummers burned, looted and starved a population seems a bit unrealistic. If a child died of malnutrition because a Sherman or Sheridan burned all the crops they couldn’t steal do you really think the childs death was natural or caused by the Union? Who, but the family, would have recorded this fact? The absolute lack of any moral restraint with respect to civilians clearly demonstrates the depraved nature of the “unionist”. It wasn’t until Stalin starvation of Ukraine that we witnessed an equal abuse of power. Lincoln was an ideologue driven by incompetence. He was a rube who could not contain his righteousness. John Brown did indeed foreshadow his coming in great detail.
