If you make a claim then you are far more credible if you can show sources.For example it took me maybe 5 seconds to go on to historynet.com/gettysburg-casualties this site does not cover all battle but it does give a nice side by side comparison of 5 major battles.
1. Spotsylvania Court House percentage of Union casualites on the offensive is 22.17% vs Lee on the defensive 18%
2.Antietam Union on the defense 16.48% casualties vs Lee on the offense 26.47%
3. Chancelorville Union of the offense 12.91% casualties vs Lee on the defense 21.06% casualties
4. Gettysburg Union on the defense 28.01% casualties vs Lee on the offense 37.42% casualties.

This is confusing. They are listing Union on the defense at Antietam?
