"And then there was the Centralia, MO massacre later on by the rebels."

I count 17 total Civil War massacres, with over 1,700 total killed -- including captured soldiers, civilians, plus Indian women & children.
Your Centralia, Missouri massacre will become the 15th, in September 1864.

Here are the massacres to date:
