Re: the debauchery and attacks against civilians perpetrated by the yankees - Dr. Thomas P. Lowry, author of Tarnished Eagles: The Court-Martial of Fifty Union Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels, researched ALL courts-martial of that war from both sides (over 22,000), and noted that there were over 300 yankees were courts-martialed and executed for raping southern women.

The number of Confederates courts-martialed for for rape:

    Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. None.

Rape wasn't a crime in the confederate army, was it?

Maybe for the south, it was not a court martial worthy offense. I wouldn't know, and don't really care. It was hundreds of years ago.
