    Civilians of of the confederacy. They burned civilian infrastructure and attacked some innocent people in the name of war.

    Explanation:

    The Total War strategy that was used by the Union during the Civil War meant that there was no restriction of weapons and laws of war was disregarded. This meant that not only the military suffered but the civilians were military targets which led to thousands of civilians casualties. This strategy was used to win the war as fast as they could at the same time that convinced civilians that the Confederacy was not able to protect them. Historians estimate that 4% of the southern civilians lost their lives.
