A better question would be 'How many battles were fought in the North?' - because there was only one. That was Gettysburg.
All the others were fought in the South.
The South won 256 battles
1 and that is Gettysburg
The South's Army of Northern Virginia under the command of Robert E. Lee fought many US Civil War battles that are most famously known. These included the Second Battle of Bull Run, Battle of Antietam, Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg and Gettysburg. Later in the late war, the Battles in the Overland campaign would gain fame. These included Cold harbor and Spotsylvania.
Confederate General Robert E. Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia were planning to make a significant raid on Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Northern forces of the Army of the Potomac were sent to not allow that to happen. By strictly chance the two opposing armies met at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It was a three day battle in which the North and Union General George Meade won. This forced Lee to retreat back to Virginia.

While many of the important battles of the Civil War were fought in Northern Virginia, fighting in the rest of the South was quite important. Still, southwest of Washington DC, the Potomac River becomes quite wide and difficult for an army to land. West of Washington, the mountains make it difficult for an army to cross. As a result, the Union Army would mainly enter Virginia near Washington DC. The other reason was that the Confederate Capital was in Richmond, Virginia. The Union wanted to capture Richmond and capture the enemy's capital.
There were 123 battles
