From my #23:
The number of Confederates courts-martialed for for rape: Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. None.A statement of fact. As presented above, the Confederacy codified rape as an offense (previously prosecuted under civilian law as per the 1806 "Articles of War") in 1862. With that law in place there are still "0" courts-martial for the offense of rape perpetrated by a Confederate soldier.

So in other words, it wasn't that confederate soldiers never raped, they just weren't tried for it? That sounds like either a condemnation of the confederate military or a condemnation of what passed for the confederate legal system.
