How many civilians died during the American revolution? (hexbear.net)

Recent events have me curious about exactly how bloody the American revolution was. I tried asked chatGPT but it was evasive at best so I was hoping some more history minded hexbears could help me out. Bonus points for examples of innocent people caught in the crossfire. I want to throw some stats at the liberals in my life about what even a "good" revolution looks like.

I can't believe those American fanatics attacked noncombatants. My heart is breaking for them

I have my issues with the British Empire but we have to stand with them in this case

I get a surreal thrill out of reading hexbears accurately parodying things liberals say

The terrorists in the colonies should have tried to reason with Britain first to come up with a peaceful transfer of power. It's what any sane body of people would do.
